Notes from the Dopstack engineering team on the architecture, cloud and AI decisions that actually move the needle.

Choosing a cloud architecture that scales with the business, not against it

Most cloud migrations fail to deliver on cost or reliability because the architecture was chosen before the constraints were understood.

Agents are powerful for ambiguous, multi-step tasks. They are the wrong tool for anything that needs deterministic guarantees.

Architecture

A full rewrite is rarely the right call. Incremental extraction behind a stable interface almost always is.

DevOps

Kubernetes gives teams real flexibility, but only if the platform work is done up front.

Azure

The right provider depends on your existing enterprise agreements, compliance needs and team expertise — not which one is 'better'.

Cybersecurity

Checklist-based security reviews miss the issues that matter. Threat modeling against your actual architecture doesn't.
