SecureScale

Infrastructure that actually stays up

Built by Devanshu Chicholikar, software engineer and AI engineer in Boston.

The story

You know what's harder than writing code? Making sure it stays running in production. SecureScale is a fully automated AWS infrastructure setup designed to not break at 3 AM.

The whole thing is Infrastructure as Code in modular Terraform: VPC, ALB, auto-scaling groups, RDS and S3 encrypted with KMS, across multiple availability zones, with least-privilege IAM, Packer-built AMIs, GitHub Actions and CloudWatch monitoring.

Provisioning went from 2 hours to 10 minutes, cloud spend dropped 30%, and it held 99.9% uptime.
