CoW Protocol
- Wrote and deployed infrastructure as code from scratch using Pulumi. Integrated Grafana, Prometheus, Amazon EKS, AWS SSO (now AWS IAM Identity Center), ElastAlert, and Fluentd into the DevOps stack.
- Developed a reliable and scalable Ethereum node infrastructure at a quarter of the cost of what the external providers were offering.
- Integrated OpsGenie, an incident response tool that provides reliable notifications for downtime incidents. This improved our response time to an incident from eight hours (when the on-call goes to sleep) to less than 10 minutes.
- Implemented a CI/CD pipeline to automate the deployment and release process for Kubernetes applications.
- Identified, implemented, and monitored the SLIs for different microservices and ensured that they were within SLA.
