Tech Bird
DevOps & Platform Engineering Studio

We build reliable cloud platforms so your teams can ship safely at scale

Tech Bird is a boutique DevOps & SRE studio focused on Azure, containers, and delivery automation.

Led by a senior engineer with 11+ years in DevOps, SRE, and software configuration / release engineering, we help product and enterprise teams move from fragile, snowflake environments to automated, observable platforms built on Azure, Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and robust CI/CD.

What Tech Bird does

We help organisations that already run in the cloud – or are on their way there – to stabilise, scale, and simplify their delivery. From Azure landing zones to CI/CD and container platforms, we plug in where you need deep DevOps expertise the most.

Azure platform & landing zones

Design and implementation of Azure networks, compute, and PaaS services: VNet, VMSS, AKS, API Management, Front Door, Functions, Managed SQL, and related services. We create secure, well‑governed Azure landing zones your teams can safely build on.

Azure Landing Zones Networking & security Hybrid connectivity

Container platforms (AKS & Docker Swarm)

Building and operating Kubernetes and Docker Swarm clusters for large microservice estates, including ingress, service discovery, observability, and capacity planning. We handle upgrades, autoscaling, and runtime standards so teams can focus on features.

AKS Docker Swarm Service discovery & ingress

CI/CD & release automation

End‑to‑end pipelines from commit to production, blue/green or canary deployments, and reproducible release processes that work across many teams and services. We use Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and Git‑centric workflows to make deployments boring again.

API, edge & security architecture

Secure API and edge architectures with Azure API Management, Front Door, and WAF. We separate public APIs from internal backends, enforce consistent policies, and ensure that only the right traffic reaches your services.

Reliability, monitoring & incident readiness

Introduction of observability (logs, metrics, traces), definition of SLOs, and tuning of alerts so your teams get signal instead of noise. We help you build clear runbooks and on‑call workflows for critical incidents.

SLOs & error budgets Dashboards & alerts Runbooks

Database performance & caching

SQL Server performance tuning and caching strategies (e.g. Varnish) for high‑traffic APIs and web apps. We profile queries, fix indexes, and design caching layers that keep response times stable under load.

Selected engagements

Here are a few examples of where Tech Bird plugs into engineering organisations. These are anonymised but based on real work in complex, enterprise‑grade environments.

Azure platform for multi‑team product organisation
Azure · APIM · Front Door · CI/CD

A product company with several cross‑functional teams had ad‑hoc Azure subscriptions and inconsistent ways to expose APIs. We designed an Azure landing zone, centralised networking, and a standard pattern using API Management and Front Door, plus CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps.

Impact: new services can be onboarded to production in days instead of weeks, with clear security boundaries between public APIs and internal backends.

Migration from legacy Docker Swarm to AKS
AKS · Docker Swarm · Observability

An enterprise running hundreds of microservices on a legacy Swarm cluster needed better scaling and visibility. Tech Bird designed and implemented an AKS‑based platform, including ingress, certificate handling, logging, metrics, and deployment pipelines.

Impact: safer, incremental rollouts with improved observability, giving teams confidence to ship changes more frequently.

SQL performance optimisation & caching for APIs
SQL Server · Varnish · Performance

A high‑traffic API platform was suffering from slow responses during traffic peaks. We profiled SQL Server workloads, optimised queries and indexes, and introduced Varnish caching for common API responses with carefully tuned lifetimes.

Impact: significantly faster average response times and more stable behaviour during peak loads, with headroom for future growth.

Release process modernisation
Azure DevOps · Jenkins · Release engineering

A large engineering organisation had manual, error‑prone releases and configuration drift between environments. Drawing on years of release engineering practice, we standardised pipelines, introduced configuration management and environment promotion flows, and automated deployment steps.

Impact: fewer failed releases, predictable rollbacks, and clearer ownership of configuration across environments.

Where Tech Bird is based
