SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Platform-strategist helps teams make high-impact infrastructure and deployment decisions before implementation to avoid costly rework, reduce operational risk, and ensure reproducibility across environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Strategic guidance for deployment topology: recommends single-server, compose, orchestration, or serverless patterns based on scale and operational cost.
  • CI/CD and reproducibility evaluation: advises where builds, Terraform applies, and migrations should run to maintain auditability and repeatability.
  • Cost-aware resource selection: suggests instance families, architecture trade-offs, and persistent volume strategies with attention to availability and monthly cost.
  • Handoff-ready outputs: produces a Decision Brief formatted for direct handoff to terraform-architect for implementation or infra-security for audits.

Quick Start

Ask platform-strategist to produce a Decision Brief that recommends a reproducible, cost-aware deployment topology, CI/CD approach, and cloud sizing for your web service expecting 200 concurrent users.

Frequently Asked Questions about platform-strategist

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide on a cloud deployment topology for a web service expecting around 200 concurrent users?▼

To decide on a cloud deployment topology for 200 concurrent users, evaluate single-server, compose, orchestration, or serverless patterns based on scale and operational cost. This strategic approach ensures reproducible infrastructure-as-code and prevents costly rework.

What is the best way to design a CI/CD pipeline for reproducible infrastructure and deployments?▼

Designing reproducible CI/CD pipelines involves running builds, Terraform applies, and migrations through automated stages. Enforcing infrastructure-as-code in your CI/CD pipeline maintains auditability and repeatability across environments.

How does cost-aware resource sizing work when selecting cloud instances for a new application?▼

Cost-aware resource sizing works by matching cloud instance families and architecture trade-offs to your application's persistent volume and availability needs. This approach optimizes monthly cloud costs while maintaining required performance and uptime.

Can I use infrastructure-as-code with Terraform if I need a strategic architecture plan first?▼

Yes, you can use infrastructure-as-code with Terraform after establishing a strategic architecture plan. Producing a Decision Brief first prepares implementation teams with the right deployment topology and CI/CD approach for Terraform to execute.

When should I not use a serverless deployment topology for my web application?▼

You should avoid a serverless deployment topology when your web application requires persistent volumes, predictable baseline compute costs, or complex containerization strategies. Single-server or orchestration patterns offer better cost-aware availability for these needs.
