Cloud & DevOps

Edge, proxy and load balancing that scale

T7 Solution sets up Nginx, HAProxy, cloud load balancers and Cloudflare edge — reverse proxies, TLS, rate limits, WAF, CDN and geo-routing tuned for real traffic.

Overview

Most outages don't start at the app — they start at the edge: bad TLS renewals, misconfigured rate limits, hot pods behind a dumb load balancer.

We design and configure Nginx, HAProxy, ALB/NLB and Cloudflare with sane defaults for TLS 1.3, HTTP/2/3, gzip/brotli, per-route rate limits and WAF rules.

Every setup ships with monitoring (5xx, latency, cache hit rate), automated TLS via Let's Encrypt / ACM and a documented failover plan.

What we ship

Nginx / HAProxy setup

Reverse proxy, upstream health checks, sticky sessions, timeouts and connection tuning done properly.

TLS + HTTP/3

TLS 1.3, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, HSTS and automated cert renewal via Let's Encrypt or ACM.

Cloud load balancers

AWS ALB/NLB, Azure Front Door, GCP LB and DigitalOcean LB with health-checks and multi-AZ.

Rate limiting + WAF

Per-route rate limits, bot protection and WAF rules (Cloudflare, AWS WAF, ModSecurity).

CDN + caching

Cloudflare, CloudFront and Fastly with cache-key tuning, purge workflows and stale-while-revalidate.

Geo + failover routing

DNS-based failover, geo-routing and multi-region active/passive with health-driven cutover.

How we're different

Tuned, not templated

Timeouts, buffers, keep-alives and connection pools tuned to your workload — not copy-pasted defaults.

TLS never expires silently

Automated renewal, monitored expiry and alerts weeks in advance — no more 3am cert outages.

WAF that isn't off

WAF rules tuned so false positives don't force ops to disable it — real protection, not a checkbox.

Failover-tested

Failover is drilled quarterly, not hoped for during an outage.

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle TLS renewal?

Yes — automated via Let's Encrypt or ACM with expiry monitoring and pre-expiry alerts.

Cloudflare or a cloud LB?

Often both: Cloudflare at the edge for DDoS/WAF/CDN, cloud LB inside the VPC for internal routing. We size per workload.

Can you handle high-traffic events?

Yes — capacity planning, load testing, cache warmup and pre-scaling for sales, launches and streaming events.

Do you set up WAF rules?

Yes — Cloudflare, AWS WAF or ModSecurity rules tuned to your app with false-positive testing before enforce mode.
