Design or audit DigitalOcean networking — VPC (per-region, multi-VPC patterns), Load Balancer (regional, global), Floating / Reserved IPs, DNS (PowerDNS-based), Cloud Firewall, Spaces CDN, and PTR records. Use when standing up a new VPC, exposing a service, hardening edge, or auditing east-west connectivity.
Wire up or audit DigitalOcean observability and cost — Monitoring (graphs, alert policies for CPU, disk, memory, bandwidth), Logs, Insights / metrics, project-level billing, Reserved capacity hooks, and snapshot lifecycle costs. Use when adding telemetry, tracking down a regression, or shrinking a bill.
Design or audit DigitalOcean storage and database tiers — Spaces (S3-compatible object storage), Volumes (block storage), Managed Databases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, OpenSearch), and Backups. Use when picking a data store, modeling access patterns, sizing, securing, or backing up data.
Fly.io architecture reviewer. Use when the user asks for an architecture review, "is this design sound", a pre-launch audit, or wants findings against five Fly-specific pillars (edge-first design, data placement, scale-to-zero correctness, security posture, cost).
Fly.io security reviewer. Use when the user asks for a security audit, pre-launch security check, token scope review, secrets handling review, or wants to validate posture against Fly-specific security baselines (token scoping, private apps, Postgres rotation, WireGuard hygiene, image signing).
Design or audit Fly.io infrastructure-as-code and deployment — flyctl CLI, fly.toml configuration, deploy strategies (immediate/rolling/bluegreen/canary), GitHub Actions with superfly/flyctl-actions, machine pinning via the Machines API, Pulumi flyio/fly provider, multi-region deploys. Use when setting up a deployment…
Design, size, or operate Fly Machines and Apps — Firecracker VMs, auto-start/stop, scale-to-zero, machine sizes, placement across regions, rolling vs immediate deploys, releases, fly-replay routing. Use when picking a machine size, configuring multi-region, reviewing a deployment strategy, or auditing scale-to-zero…
Wire up or audit observability and cost on Fly.io — built-in Grafana metrics, fly logs (NATS-backed), shipping to external observability stacks, OpenTelemetry support, Fly pricing model (machine-seconds, volumes, egress). Use when adding telemetry to a Fly app, diagnosing a regression, or sizing a cost review.
