Kobix is a founder-led systems performance and cloud audit practice. Fixed-scope 5–10 day diagnostics that isolate kernel bottlenecks, pipeline failures, and wasted cloud spend — delivered with a prioritized remediation blueprint.
No open-ended retainers. Each audit is a focused forensic sprint that diagnoses root causes, quantifies dollar impact, and hands your team an executable fix list.
Deep-tech latency and runtime forensics. Isolates unexplained p99 tail-latency spikes, off-CPU thread stalls, lock contention, cgroups CPU throttling, and kernel packet drops without production overhead.
A forensic sweep of your AWS or GCP estate. Surfaces idle compute, unindexed multi-terabyte object storage, NAT gateway traps, and GPU starvation — backed by a monthly savings ledger.
Designed for data-intensive and TechBio workloads. Eliminates mid-run OOM kills, container dependency drift, spot-instance interruption failures, and I/O bottlenecks across distributed workflows.
We align on your symptoms — whether it's a spiking AWS bill, p99 latency regressions, or failing batch jobs. You grant least-privilege, read-only IAM access or run our open-source telemetry collector. Zero changes to production.
Asynchronous deep-dive across your billing exports, Terraform states, container resource limits, and kernel tracepoints. No disruption to your engineering team's daily sprint.
You receive a comprehensive forensic report and live engineering walkthrough: annotated FlameGraphs, a ranked dollar-savings ledger, and copy-pasteable Terraform/config patches your team owns 100%.
You work directly with a 20-year systems and cloud architect. No account managers, and no junior consultants running generic compliance checklists.
Native cloud scanners flag open buckets; they don't diagnose kernel lock contention, CFS throttling, or Nextflow I/O stalls. We audit runtime reality.
FinOps and performance audits routinely uncover 20–40% in wasted compute, storage, and observability ingestion — delivering immediate positive ROI.
Audits are strictly diagnostic. You get the raw traces, scripts, and remediation PRs so your internal team can execute immediately — or engage us for targeted fixes.
No fluff slide decks. Every audit concludes with an engineering-grade diagnostic package your team can act on immediately.
A ranked ledger of every architectural bottleneck and wasted cloud line-item, scored by engineering effort versus monthly dollar impact and SLA risk.
Interactive On-CPU/Off-CPU FlameGraphs, kernel drop histograms, and pod resource utilization heatmaps proving the exact root cause of performance degradation.
Concrete Terraform diffs, Kubernetes manifest adjustments, S3 lifecycle policies, and kernel sysctl tuning parameters ready for your CI/CD pipeline.
