Ankit Bhardwaj — Senior Site Reliability Engineer, Panchkula, Chandigarh

I keep a six-cluster production Kubernetes fleet at 99.9% uptime.

Senior SRE at Wizeline, embedded with Capsule — a US healthcare and pharmacy platform on AWS. Twelve years building software, five of them running cloud infrastructure: EKS, Terraform, Helm, Prometheus, and a lot of careful, zero-downtime migrations.

Recent reliability work

What running a healthcare platform's infrastructure has looked like this year.

Full experience
  • Two fleet-wide Kubernetes upgrades, zero downtime

    Led EKS 1.32 → 1.33 and 1.33 → 1.34 across all six production clusters with Helm, Helmfile and Codefresh — no customer-visible impact on either pass.

    • EKS
    • Helm
    • Codefresh
  • Hardened a Lambda concurrency storm

    A burst throttled a customer-facing webhook. Capped concurrency in Terraform, fixed the fail-fast path, and closed the detection gap with alerting on the unreserved pool.

    • Lambda
    • Terraform
    • Alerting
  • Aurora Serverless v2 → RDS Provisioned

    Migrated on CVE patch-latency grounds and cut monthly database cost by about 8%. Later found and killed three months of orphaned double billing.

Running something that has to stay up?

I'm open to conversations about SRE and platform roles, and about infrastructure that needs a steadier hand. I reply within a day.
