Infrastructure & DevOps
Scale your technology infrastructure with confidence. William Charlton Engineering provides comprehensive infrastructure and DevOps solutions, from global device management platforms to containerized applications, with proven experience in secure deployment and distributed system architecture.
Global Device Management
WCE has built Linux device management platforms that work anywhere on the internet without requiring DNS infrastructure. These solutions leverage Flask-based architectures with Hashicorp Vault for secure secrets management and Diode blockchain networking for global device connectivity. The result is secure, encrypted communication between devices and management platforms that transcends traditional network boundaries.
Our experience includes developing platforms that handle device authentication, remote management, and troubleshooting capabilities across geographically distributed environments. These systems are designed to work reliably even in challenging network conditions where traditional DNS-based solutions would fail.
Secure Infrastructure Deployment
Infrastructure as Code is at the heart of modern deployment strategies. We work extensively with Hashicorp Nomad for container orchestration and workload deployment across hybrid environments, integrated with Vault for comprehensive secrets management and dynamic credential rotation. This approach ensures that infrastructure deployments are both secure and repeatable.
Containerized applications benefit from proper orchestration, and we've implemented solutions using Docker with Nomad for multi-cloud and hybrid environments. These deployments include:
- Automated service discovery and health checking
- Load balancing for high availability
- Zero-downtime deployment strategies
- Comprehensive monitoring and alerting
Blockchain-based networking through Diode.io provides an innovative approach to distributed infrastructure. This technology enables decentralized VPN solutions and mesh networking topologies that create resilient, self-healing networks with zero-trust architecture principles.
Scalable System Architecture
Distributed systems require careful architectural planning to handle growth and maintain reliability. We design microservices architectures that are both scalable and maintainable, with event-driven communication patterns that support asynchronous processing and high throughput requirements.
Cloud and hybrid solutions need to balance performance, cost, and reliability. Our approach focuses on multi-cloud deployments that avoid vendor lock-in while optimizing resource utilization. This includes implementing proper monitoring and observability systems that provide deep insights into system behavior and performance characteristics.
DevOps Implementation
Continuous integration and deployment pipelines are essential for modern development workflows. We build automated testing frameworks with comprehensive quality gates, zero-downtime deployment strategies, and robust rollback mechanisms. Security is integrated throughout the pipeline with automated scanning and compliance checking.
Development workflow optimization goes beyond just CI/CD. It includes designing Git workflows that support team collaboration, managing consistent environments across development stages, and creating custom tooling that improves developer productivity and reduces friction in the development process.
