Delivery Senior-only

THE THREE LAYERS

Cost. Reliability. Delivery. Mapped in this order.

The order matters. Cost waste hides reliability risk. Reliability gaps hide delivery friction. We map all three because fixing them in isolation creates more problems than it solves.

FinOps

Cost layer · billing, waste, attribution

Idle resources, unused volumes, orphaned snapshots
Reserved Instance / Savings Plans coverage analysis
Environment sprawl + cross-AZ traffic leakage
Per-team / per-service spend visibility gaps
Storage class transitions + S3 / Blob lifecycle gaps
Database overprovisioning + right-sizing decisions
Observability tax (Datadog / New Relic / Splunk)

Day 4 deliverable: FinOps Quick-Win Memo , top 3 cost interventions with sized savings, ranked by effort.

Reliability & SRE

Resilience layer · SLOs, MTTR, on-call posture

SLO discipline + alerting hygiene assessment
On-call rotation health + MTTR distribution
Disaster recovery posture + single points of failure
Incident response maturity vs. team size
Runbook coverage + tribal-knowledge audit
Multi-region / multi-AZ posture review
Backup + restore validation

Day 14 deliverable: Reliability section of the X-Ray report , gap map with prioritized fixes against your team size.

DevOps & Ops

Delivery layer · CI/CD, IaC, K8s, observability

Pipeline maturity + deploy frequency baseline
IaC hygiene + drift + secret management
K8s upgrade posture + cluster lifecycle
Observability stack coverage + signal-to-noise
Branching / release strategy review
Quality gates + rollback mechanics
Developer experience + lead-time-to-deploy

Day 14 deliverable: Delivery section of the X-Ray report , pipeline blueprint with rollback strategy, release guardrails, and staged rollout patterns.
