Measured outcomes.

Azure architecture, Data platforms, FinOps and CI/CD: explore the technical decisions and outcomes from the founder’s professional career.

These anonymized experiences are separate from AKITA Consulting contracts; each study defines the scope of its outcomes.

Published case studies

Azure Front Door architecture and certificates

Technical challenge: Rationalize domain publishing and certificate lifecycle without interrupting application journeys.
Solution: Front Door architecture, domain migration, managed certificates and Terraform-based Azure configuration.

100+domains moved to Azure Front Door; over €40k annual savings on the relevant scope

BigQuery FinOps and query optimization

Technical challenge: Attribute spending to BigQuery workloads and reduce scans without changing analytical results.
Solution: SQL analysis, partitioning and clustering on targeted workloads; daily GCP cost monitoring through Power BI.

−35%cost reduction on optimized BigQuery workloads; not the whole cloud bill

GitLab platform and CI/CD execution

Technical challenge: Control platform spending without transferring risks to maintenance, backups and CI/CD capacity.
Solution: GitLab architecture on GCP, autoscaled GKE runners deployed with Helm and upgrade validation in ephemeral staging.

≈−90%spending on the GitLab platform scope concerned, excluding full GCP/CI/CD costs

Platform engineering and CI/CD

Technical challenge: Converge three delivery chains without confusing their environments with the hundreds of pipelines to standardize.
Solution: Per-application YAML, shared Jenkins/Groovy logic, common controls and support for Kubernetes migrations.

500+standardized pipelines; deployment time from about two days to one hour for the releases concerned
