How we think about production.

Long-form guides on the architecture choices that make or break a production system. Every guide is grounded in a system TantraDev operates — not paraphrased from a vendor blog, not written to rank. Read what we’d hand to a CTO on the first call.

ON THE WAY

What we’re writing next.

  • FinOps cost reduction playbook — typically 30–40% savings in the first month.
  • Postgres partitioning at scale — the per-currency partitioning move from the FinTech case.
  • Blue-green vs canary deploys — when each one fits.
  • HIPAA architecture patterns — PHI handling, audit logs, FHIR-first integration.
  • Kafka vs Redis Streams vs NATS — picking the right log for the workload.
  • AWS vs Azure vs GCP for SaaS — the decision tree.
ARCHITECTURE AUDIT

Reading is one thing. Building it is the other.

30 minutes on the phone, one page in your inbox — what to build, what to skip, what it will cost. You keep the audit even if we are not the right fit.
