Grow cloud fluency with Wheatstalk

Wheatstalk's mission is to seed, cultivate, and grow cloud fluency in our clients. We want all our client teams to find the efficiencies inherent in cloud-thinking.

Based in Calgary, Alberta, Wheatstalk is a professional consulting firm for Amazon, Google, and Azure cloud services. We service mid-market organizations and hot startups in all major industries across the country.

Our clients

We maintain long-term relationships with our clients, providing valuable consulting, training, and ongoing development. We find a perfect fit so that the sum of our work together is always greater as a whole.

Certified cloud consulting

Wheatstalk's cloud solutions architects are AWS Certified. As cloud thinkers and DevOps experts, our consulting and professional services can help to take your infrastructure plans from the initiation stages through to operations.

Identify the need

Example: The organization needs to run a dynamically scaled workload for user-facing stateless containers and cost-efficient batch processing. The recovery time objective demands an active-active secondary region and the recovery point objective is thirty seconds.

Work to establish an overall plan

Example: The overall plan is to deploy two AWS Fargate clusters in distant geographic regions with read replication to the failover RDS and cross-region S3 object replication. A simultaneous internal modernization project will proceed to implement the S3 storage service on a pre-existing Dockerfile.

The containerized front-end services will tie into infrastructure by an SNS pub-sub and will fan-out to queues for decoupled backend systems and batch processing that will occur on spot instances.

The infrastructure will be maintained in a CloudFormation template and committed to version control. The infrastructure will be managed as code in a multi-environment, continuous delivery pipeline.

Execute the plan

Example: Using the Nexus scaled scrum framework, we coordinate product teams to deliver increments of done from a value-ordered product backlog.

The Product Owner declares that time-to-market is important and coordinates the release of the highest value done features after two sprints.

Development continues with two-week releases until the desired backlog stories are exhausted.

Operations

Example: Following the Reliability and Operational Excellence pillars of the Well-Architected Framework, the Wheatstalk solutions architects guide operational teams through maintenance, Chaos Engineering, game days, and the development of cloud playbooks.

Serverless app development

For new app concepts and new line of business applications, Wheatstalk utilizes React.js, React Native, and the Serverless Application Model to build great features with nearly limitless scalability, less operational maintenance, and unmatched cost efficiency.

Solutions architecture

When we synthesize our architectures, we find the nuances of the problem context, expose the sources of a good fit, and link the right elements to achieve the best solution.

  1. HYBRID ARCHITECTURES - our well-established clients overwhelmingly require solutions that bridge the cloud with their existing datacentres. We provide expert insight into the interconnection of on-premises and cloud systems for all common scenarios including disaster recovery and cloud compute offloading, through to complex multi-phased discovery and transition processes.
  2. CLOUD-NATIVE ARCHITECTURES - our clients often look to the cloud for flexibility when they need to rapidly prototype and deliver in new initiatives. Wheatstalk's emphasis on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) in the cloud allows us to rapidly prototype and deliver infrastructure, matching the tempo of your internal teams.
  3. BEST PRACTICES - We take the pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework to heart and apply each to build out secure, reliable, performant, cost optimized, and operationally excellent solutions.

"we should always expect to see the process of achieving good fit between two entities as  ... neutralizing the incongruities, or irritants, or forces, which cause misfit."

Christopher Alexander, Notes on the Synthesis of Form (1964)
