Spinnaker Labs: Services

Your web application is going to change the world. And you're prepared to grow from the first 100 users to 10,000. But how scalable is your platform? Will it handle 100,000 so gracefully? During this period of rapid growth, you want to devote your valuable time to adding new features, not worrying about the plumbing. But building a large distributed system to handle this increased load by yourself will be challenging.

We can show you tools and techniques to make this manageable.

Whether you are a startup with a new web application, or an established enterprise business with terabytes of data to analyze, new platforms such as Hadoop and Amazon Web Services can automate many distributed scalability and reliability concerns, saving you time, effort, and money. But you need to design your process to take advantage of these unique environments.

Our consultants have a passion for scalability and growth, and a sharp eye for solid distributed system design. Our services are aimed at several stages in your development cycle:

  • Training seminars at your office bring your engineers up to speed on core technologies in a matter of hours.
  • Algorithm analysis, helping you redefine your core algorithms in a scalable fashion. Whether you're looking to spend an afternoon with a whiteboard, or for a more in-depth review of your pipeline, we can recommend strategies to get you moving in the right direction quickly.
  • Cluster deployment, procuring, configuring, installing, and maintaining clusters using Hadoop, or based in the Amazon Web Services cloud to power your computational needs.
  • Software development, providing you with a solid start in your scalable system implementation.
  • Code reviews, to discuss performance bottlenecks and streamline operations.
