In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations no longer seek just a vendor — they look for a technology partner who can think ahead, move fast, and deliver impact. At 10decoders, this philosophy shapes the way we engage, build, and scale solutions for our clients. Whether it’s migrating legacy systems to the cloud or building new, cloud-native infrastructure, our approach is rooted in collaboration, agility, and measurable results.
A Smarter Way to Engage Businesses
10decoders doesn’t just deliver engineering services; we co-create success stories. Our business engagement model is designed around transparency, shared ownership, and the flexibility to adapt to evolving client needs.
From the first conversation, our teams align with client objectives — whether it’s accelerating digital transformation, modernizing legacy systems, or enhancing cloud efficiency. With a team of 180+ engineers specializing in diverse technologies, we ensure every engagement has the right expertise at the right time.
Our resource model offers agility without compromise. For standard project requirements, we maintain a two-week onboarding window. However, for critical or urgent needs, we can mobilize engineers immediately — thanks to a strategic 10–15% bench strength that keeps us responsive and ready.
Each engagement comes with clear rate cards aligned to technology stacks and project complexity. Billing, time tracking, and delivery follow a well-defined rhythm — bi-weekly submissions, transparent timesheets, and strict SLA adherence. This consistency ensures our clients can focus on outcomes, while we handle delivery excellence with accountability.
Our engagement framework isn’t about transactions — it’s about building trust, project by project.
From Legacy to Cloud-Native: Redefining Agility on AWS
When a fast-growing tech company approached 10decoders to modernize its network monitoring platform, the challenge was clear but complex — high infrastructure costs, limited scalability, and zero elasticity. The client’s product, designed for enterprise-level bandwidth monitoring, had proven its value during pilot deployments, but their private datacenter setup couldn’t support broader commercial rollout.
Running a single-tenant architecture meant every new client required a separate deployment — multiplying costs and slowing down onboarding. Automated database backups were inconsistent, and replication across growing data volumes was a constant pain point.
The tech company needed a cloud migration strategy that wasn’t just a lift-and-shift but a rethink of their architecture — scalable, secure, cost-efficient, and ready for multi-tenancy. Our architects began by analyzing the existing on-premise setup, identifying bottlenecks in compute utilization, data storage, and deployment pipelines. The goal was to build a cloud-native system on AWS, leveraging Kubernetes (EKS) for orchestration and Terraform for Infrastructure as Code.
We implemented a 100% automated CI/CD pipeline that enabled zero-touch deployments. This meant developers could push code to production securely, without manual intervention, reducing human error and deployment downtime.
Managed AWS services such as RDS and S3 handled data management, offering auto-scaling, multi-zone replication, and point-in-time recovery. Combined with Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring, the solution provided deep observability into system performance and user activity.
To ensure security, we established role-based access controls, VPC segmentation, and bastion hosts for controlled entry — achieving enterprise-grade protection while maintaining operational agility. The transformation was nothing short of revolutionary.
- 37% reduction in infrastructure costs within the first quarter
- 70% lower maintenance overhead through CI/CD and automated deployments
- Elastic scaling on EKS allowed the platform to handle peak loads effortlessly
- 99.9999999% data durability ensured by AWS-native backup and replication
- Zero-touch production releases, improving deployment safety and developer productivity
By the end of the project, the startup was no longer worrying about servers or scale. They were focused on innovation — building new features, expanding customer reach, and delivering value faster than ever.
Building the Future from the Ground Up: IaC and Azure
While modernization solves today’s problems, building from scratch demands foresight. When a global energy leader — one of the top seven oil and gas enterprises in the world — partnered with 10decoders, the mission was bold: build a unified, self-service infrastructure orchestration system on Azure that could support everything from web and mobile apps to analytics and machine learning workloads.
The client’s cloud infrastructure was fragmented. Each project team managed its own environment, leading to duplicated effort, inconsistent configurations, and costly delays. Provisioning a new environment could take weeks, while change management and testing were manual, slow, and error-prone. Worse, the setup lacked adherence to the Well-Architected Framework — making scalability and governance a constant struggle.
Our team envisioned an Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) driven platform powered by Terraform. The idea was simple yet transformative — to codify every part of the infrastructure, create reusable templates, and empower engineers to build or tear down environments with a single click.
We started by performing a fit-gap analysis across various system types and existing configurations. Each topology — whether for web apps, analytics pipelines, or ML models — was converted into modular Terraform templates.
To make this accessible, we developed a DIY-style interface where engineers could drag, drop, and configure Azure resources without needing deep DevOps expertise. Role-based access controls ensured governance, while backend automation handled validation, provisioning, and deployment.
We also identified costly proprietary tools and replaced them with open-source alternatives, reducing overhead while improving performance. Every system deployed followed best practices — from encrypted secrets in vaults to automated compliance checks. The results spoke volumes:
- Infrastructure setup time reduced from three weeks to one day
- 60% improvement in reliability due to version-controlled, tested Terraform code
- Zero dependency on senior DevOps engineers for routine provisioning
- Significant cost savings through modernization and license elimination
- Portability achieved across cloud providers using the same Terraform framework
The client could now build, replicate, or decommission environments effortlessly — driving innovation at scale without worrying about technical debt.
The Bigger Picture
Both journeys — the AWS migration and the Azure IaC initiative — highlight what defines 10decoders: the commitment to build scalable, secure, and future-ready systems that empower businesses to focus on growth.
Whether it’s optimizing legacy workloads, automating deployment pipelines, or creating greenfield infrastructure, our focus remains consistent — simplify the complex, accelerate delivery, and enable transformation.
Because in the end, digital success isn’t just about technology — it’s about how seamlessly technology and people work together to build what’s next.
