What we specialize in
RTZ Labs is a Site Reliability Engineering and platform reliability consultancy. These are the technologies we work in, the problems we are called in for, and the boundaries of each.
Istio
RTZ Labs provides Istio consulting for production Kubernetes environments – troubleshooting service mesh latency and failure behavior, reviewing traffic policy and mTLS configuration, and stabilizing Istio installations that have become difficult to operate.
Envoy & service mesh
RTZ Labs works on Envoy proxy and service mesh data plane behavior – circuit breaking, connection pooling, load balancing, and failure isolation – for teams running Envoy directly or through Istio in production.
Kubernetes
RTZ Labs provides Kubernetes consulting for production environments – reviewing cluster architecture, workload reliability, scaling behavior, and day-2 operations, with a focus on Amazon EKS.
AWS
RTZ Labs provides AWS reliability engineering – reviewing account and network architecture, failure domains, scaling limits, and the structural cost drivers in production AWS environments.
API Gateway
RTZ Labs provides API gateway architecture consulting – designing, reviewing, and scaling the edge layer that routes traffic into your services, including Envoy-based gateways, Kubernetes ingress, and AWS managed gateways.
Observability
RTZ Labs builds production observability – metrics, traces, logs, SLOs, and alerting designed so that a page corresponds to real customer impact rather than to infrastructure noise.
