CAPABILITIES

We Build What Others
Say Can't Be Built.

Four core practices. Unified delivery model. One team accountable from architecture through production.

AI / ML ENGINEERING

Custom AI That Actually Runs in Production

Most organizations have tried to ship AI and discovered that the gap between a Jupyter notebook and a production inference system is measured in months and millions. We close that gap.

Azerothia's AI/ML practice covers the full stack: problem framing, data architecture, model development, fine-tuning on proprietary datasets, evaluation pipelines, and the inference infrastructure to serve predictions at scale without burning through your cloud budget.

We've trained transformer models on private corpora for legal, medical, and financial applications. We've built retrieval-augmented generation systems before RAG had a name. We've operated GPU clusters under SLAs that most MLOps platforms can't meet. If you need AI that works — not a demo — this is the practice to call.

ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

01

Problem Framing & Feasibility

Before touching a model, we define the exact business problem, establish baseline metrics, and determine whether ML is the right tool. Most projects that fail do so here.

02

Data Architecture & Pipeline

We design and build the data infrastructure your models need: ingestion, labeling, versioning, and the feature store that ensures training and inference see the same world.

03

Model Development & Fine-Tuning

Foundation model selection, fine-tuning on proprietary data, RLHF where applicable, and rigorous offline evaluation against held-out benchmarks.

04

Inference Infrastructure

GPU cluster provisioning, model serving (Triton, vLLM, custom), batching strategy, quantization, and the observability layer to catch drift before it costs you.

05

Production Handoff & Support

Runbooks, monitoring dashboards, alerting thresholds, and optional embedded support during the critical first 90 days post-launch.

CUSTOM SOFTWARE

Systems That Survive Contact with the Real World

There is a category of software that commodity platforms, no-code tools, and off-the-shelf vendors cannot serve: systems where the business logic is the competitive advantage, where correctness is non-negotiable, and where failure has real consequences.

Azerothia builds exactly this category of software. We have shipped low-latency trading systems, multi-tenant healthcare platforms, high-throughput event processing pipelines, and developer-facing APIs used by tens of thousands of callers per second. The common thread is that these systems needed to be designed rather than assembled.

Our engineers are fluent in distributed systems theory and allergic to abstractions that don't earn their complexity. We write code that the next engineer can reason about at 2am during an incident.

ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

01

Architecture Review & Design

We spend real time on design before writing code. Domain modeling, API contracts, consistency guarantees, and failure mode analysis. This is where the expensive mistakes don't happen.

02

Iterative Delivery in Production Increments

We ship to a staging environment that mirrors production from sprint one. No "big bang" releases. Each increment is deployable, observable, and reversible.

03

Performance Engineering

Load testing against realistic traffic models, query optimization, caching strategy, and connection pool tuning — before you discover you need it.

04

Security & Compliance Integration

Threat modeling, input validation, secrets management, audit logging, and compliance attestation built in — not bolted on at the end.

05

Documentation & Ownership Transfer

Architectural decision records, runbooks, on-call playbooks, and knowledge transfer sessions so your team fully owns what we built.

CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

Architecture Built for SLA-Grade Uptime

Cloud infrastructure is not a commodity. The difference between a system that runs and a system that runs reliably under adversarial conditions — cascading failures, traffic spikes, regional outages, config drift — is entirely in the design decisions made before the first resource is provisioned.

Azerothia's infrastructure practice has managed multi-cloud environments with annual egress costs exceeding $40M and uptime SLAs with financial penalties for every minute of downtime. We know what costs money, what causes incidents, and how to engineer both out of existence.

Our work spans greenfield architecture, legacy migration, cost optimization audits, and reliability engineering. We do not touch infrastructure we haven't modeled; every engagement begins with a threat model and a cost projection.

ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

01

Discovery & Current State Audit

We map your existing infrastructure: resource inventory, IAM surface, network topology, cost breakdown, and active threat exposure. This takes days, not weeks.

02

Target Architecture Design

Reference architecture tailored to your workloads, compliance posture, and reliability requirements. Multi-region where it matters, single-region where it doesn't. IaC from day one.

03

Infrastructure as Code Implementation

Terraform modules (or CDK for AWS-native teams), versioned state, and CI/CD pipelines that apply infra changes through the same review process as application code.

04

Reliability Engineering

Chaos engineering exercises, runbook automation, alerting that pages on symptoms not causes, and SLO/SLA instrumentation.

05

FinOps Optimization

Right-sizing, reserved capacity strategy, spot instance integration, cost allocation tagging, and quarterly review cadence to prevent cloud spend from growing faster than revenue.

DEVOPS & PLATFORM

The Infrastructure Your Engineers Deserve

The productivity of your engineering organization is largely determined by the quality of the platform they work on. A poor CI/CD pipeline, a fragile deployment process, and opaque observability don't just slow teams down — they demoralize them and drive away the engineers you can least afford to lose.

Azerothia's platform engineering practice builds the internal developer platform (IDP) that makes your teams fast: golden path templates, self-service infrastructure provisioning, deployment pipelines that deploy in minutes not hours, and an observability stack that answers questions before they're asked.

We have built platform tooling used by engineering organizations of 40 to 4,000. The principles scale; the implementation is always tailored.

ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

01

Developer Experience Audit

We interview engineers, map the deployment lifecycle, and measure the gap between "code merged" and "code in production." This baseline informs every subsequent decision.

02

CI/CD Pipeline Design & Implementation

GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or custom pipelines — always with standardized stages: lint, test, security scan, build, deploy, smoke test, rollback trigger.

03

Internal Developer Platform

Backstage-based or custom IDP: service catalog, golden path scaffolding, self-service environment provisioning, and documentation co-located with code.

04

Observability Stack

Structured logging, distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry), metrics (Prometheus/Grafana or Datadog), and alert routing that sends the right signal to the right team.

05

On-Call Enablement

Runbook automation, incident management tooling, post-mortem framework, and on-call rotation design. The goal: incidents stay small and happen less often.

WHY AZEROTHIA

Why Engineering Leaders Choose Azerothia

Senior-Only Delivery

No juniors on client projects. Every engineer on your engagement has shipped production systems at scale. Minimum 8 years of experience for technical leads.

Full-Stack Accountability

We don't throw work over the wall. One team, one contract, one point of accountability — from architecture through production support.

No Offshore Arbitrage

Our delivery model is not built on geographic cost arbitrage. We charge for expertise and deliver it. Our margins come from efficiency, not from billing seniors and delivering juniors.

Time-Boxed Engagements

Every engagement has a defined scope and end state. We don't build dependency. We build systems your team can own, and then we leave.

IP Ownership — Always Yours

Every line of code, every architectural artifact, every model weight produced during an engagement is assigned to you. No licensing games.

Security-First by Default

Threat modeling, pen testing, and compliance attestation are included in our standard delivery process — not optional add-ons.

Have a problem that fits?

We take on a small number of new engagements each quarter. If your timeline works, let's find out if we do.
