Architecting chaos into order on AWS, GCP & Azure,
I build scalable infrastructure and cut cloud costs with FinOps,
Bridging the gap between Code and Ops.

Some players win trophies while some win the hearts, @neymarjr you did both, even if the world cup never came home 💛💚

You carried a nation dreams every time you wore yellow jersey, Thank you for the magic and making millions fall in love with football.

Obrigado, Ney 🇧🇷♥️🐐

My biggest achievement over the last few months? Slicing the AWS bill by nearly 50%!

Nothing beats the thrill of seeing those costs drop while keeping our cloud performance top-notch. So incredibly proud of this win!

3️⃣ The Weekend Wipe: A secondary cron runs every Friday night to sweep remaining idle resources before the weekend.

Build systems that clean up after themselves. 🧹

Day 6/90: The silent killer of cloud budgets? Forgotten environments.

Devs and QAs are busy shipping features. Expecting them to manually delete their test environments is a failing strategy.

System Design Rule: Automate the garbage collection.

[Harsh Viradia @ViradiaHarsh]

Today, I finalized the lifecycle automation for our Ephemeral Environments:
1️⃣ Age: 3 Days.
2️⃣ The Daily Sweep: A cron job runs daily at 00:00 UTC. It checks the age of all environments. If > 3 days, it auto-triggers our POST /delete API.

[Harsh Viradia @ViradiaHarsh]

The API iterates through the list, validates ownership for each item, and triggers the destruction pipeline.

Day 5/90: No more zombie environments.

Spinning up resources is easy. Remembering to kill them is hard. Today, I pushed the Delete Module to the repo.

[Harsh Viradia @ViradiaHarsh]

The Feature:
I didn't want to delete environments one by one. That’s tedious. I built a Bulk Delete endpoint that accepts a List[str].

The Logic: POST /deletePayload: ["eph-1", "eph-4", "eph-9"]

[Harsh Viradia @ViradiaHarsh]

If the token doesn't match the owner in the request? 403 Forbidden.

Day 3/90: The Heart of the System: The Create Endpoint.

Today, I pushed the core logic for spinning up ephemeral environments.

The Logic:The POST /create endpoint takes your feature branches (frontend / backend) and maps them to a new environment.

[Harsh Viradia @ViradiaHarsh]

Security Layer:
I implemented a Bearer Token Authentication middleware.
• Request Header: Authorization: Bearer <token>
• Lookup: Token ➡️ Owner Name
• Result: Only authorized devs can trigger builds.

[Harsh Viradia @ViradiaHarsh]

It filters namespaces by owner tags, ensuring developers only see what they built.

Day 3/90: The Control Plane is taking shape.

Today, I built the core /list endpoint for the Ephemeral Environment system.

Using FastAPI and the Kubernetes Python Client, this function queries the cluster directly to fetch real-time status of all active environments.

[Harsh Viradia @ViradiaHarsh]

Over the next couple of Days, I am designing a system to automate this:
1️⃣ Isolation: Every PR spins up a dedicated K8s namespace.
2️⃣ Replication: A lightweight, ephemeral copy of Production (DB + App + LB).
3️⃣ Destruction: Resources vanish when the PR closes.

[Harsh Viradia @ViradiaHarsh]

Day 1/90: The Shared Environment is a broken architectural pattern.

In modern DevOps, Shared Environment has become a bottleneck, not a gateway.

[Harsh Viradia @ViradiaHarsh]

Testing in a "dirty" shared environment produces false negatives and kills developer velocity.

The Architectural Fix: Ephemeral Environments.We need to move from Static Shared State ➡️ Dynamic Isolated State.
