AWS Platform Architecture
Design and operation of production AWS environments across compute, networking, IAM, storage, databases, routing, observability, resiliency, and account structure.

Senior technical leadership for complex cloud systems.
RKH Technology helps organizations design, modernize, secure, automate, and operate resilient cloud platforms. Led by Randy Hommel, founder and primary technologist, RKH brings hands-on engineering depth across AWS, containers, CI/CD, infrastructure automation, SaaS platforms, compliance-aware architecture, and production operations.
What RKH Technology does
Practical senior engineering for businesses that need architecture clarity, production discipline, and automation that scales.
DevOps & Deployment Automation
CI/CD pipelines, release orchestration, infrastructure-as-code, repeatable build systems, deployment workflows, rollback planning, and environment promotion strategies.
Containers & Orchestration
Real-world container architecture using ECS, EKS, Kubernetes, EC2 capacity, Fargate, Docker, task scheduling, service scaling, and operational troubleshooting.
Security & Compliance Readiness
Security-conscious engineering across IAM, KMS, TLS, API Gateway, WAF patterns, secrets handling, network segmentation, auditability, and PCI/SOC2-style control narratives.
SaaS Modernization
Architecture for multi-tenant applications, customer-isolated deployments, shared service design, background processing, cost optimization, scaling limits, and reliability improvements.
Operational Reliability
Production diagnostics, monitoring strategy, log aggregation, CloudWatch design, performance troubleshooting, incident support, and practical runbook automation.
Architecture that survives real production pressure.
RKH Technology focuses on the places where systems usually break: unclear ownership, fragile deployments, hidden scaling limits, weak operational visibility, under-modeled security, and cloud spend that grows faster than the business.
Cloud Foundation
AWS Organizations, multi-account design, VPC architecture, Route 53, CloudFront, ALB/NLB, API Gateway, S3, EFS, RDS, Aurora, Lambda, EC2, Auto Scaling, Systems Manager, and cost-aware service selection.
Compute & Containers
ECS on EC2, ECS Fargate and Fargate Spot, EKS, Kubernetes upgrades, Docker image design, capacity planning, node groups, container metrics, task overrides, batch/cron execution, and service autoscaling.
Security Engineering
IAM least privilege, KMS key strategy, API authentication, JWT/OIDC, Keycloak, mTLS, TLS policy selection, WAF design, secrets management, DMARC/SPF/DKIM, SES identity configuration, and secure integration patterns.
Automation & IaC
CloudFormation, deployment wrappers, Packer-based golden AMIs, CodeBuild/Jenkins workflows, shell/PHP/Python/Node automation, AWS CLI tooling, upgrade validation, and repeatable operational scripts.
Production Operations
CloudWatch, Fluent Bit, log analysis, health checks, rollout verification, dependency troubleshooting, performance triage, database connection scaling, RDS Proxy, networking diagnostics, and incident-oriented problem solving.
Technical depth
A broad, practical toolkit built from designing, shipping, operating, and fixing production systems.
