Engineering principles
Infrastructure is code, not clicks — declarative, version-controlled, reviewable.
Automation over manual processes — repeatable pipelines and patterns.
Least-privilege by default — access scoped to what is required.
Observability as a first-class concern — metrics, logs, and alerts from day one.
Cost awareness at design time — right-sizing and lifecycle built into architecture.
Secure-by-design architecture — security and governance embedded, not bolted on.
