Building the InfraForge AI Inference Lab
How we engineered a zero-to-edge inference cluster for 99.95% availability using k3s and vLLM - including cost-aware autoscaling and multi-tenant model routing.
Cut cloud waste. Ship faster. Automate the work slowing you down.
Clear price. Clear outcome. Results you can measure.
Pick the pain point. We find the cause and fix it.
We find what is wasting money, rank the fixes, and show you what each one saves.
We build a production platform your team can trust and ship on from day one.
We build AI automation that works, stays visible, and knows when to hand off.
FinOps audits uncover cash you didn't think existed. Here's what we found for a Series B fintech.
In 14 days we found $216K in annual savings. Implemented in 30 days. Verified by billing.

How we engineered a zero-to-edge inference cluster for 99.95% availability using k3s and vLLM - including cost-aware autoscaling and multi-tenant model routing.
From the trenches: production Go binaries corrupted by Helm upgrade, and how we engineered image validation gates and per-namespace CI-driven deployments that outlived the team that shipped them.
Kubernetes shared tenancy at scale. When $216K/yr uptime for 1M+ monthly API requests is on the line, reliability becomes maintenance.
