Summary
Subrata Saha is a seasoned software architect with 12+ years of hands-on experience building cloud-native, distributed products from ideation to production, currently leading architecture and delivery at Kickdrum. He has repeatedly architected and re-architected monoliths into event-driven microservices and serverless systems on AWS, automating infrastructure with Terraform/Helm and securing services with Istio and Spring Security. His background spans telecom startups to enterprise teams at Cisco and Oracle, where he designed high-throughput systems using Kafka, Cassandra, and resilient microservice patterns like sagas and circuit breakers. Known as a “hardcore developer/architect,” he pairs deep implementation skills (Java, Spring Boot, Kubernetes) with pragmatic operational fluency—monitoring and scaling production with Datadog and CI/CD pipelines. Outside work he documents cloud best practices on his CloudTeacher blog and has built diverse integrations from XMPP gateways to edtech and SaaS platforms.
