Principal Cloud DevOps Architect at BP
In my role as Senior Cloud DevOps Architect for BP, an oil and gas company, I had the mission to migrate the Electric Vehicle Charging platform of the EV Division from on-premises and Azure to AWS cloud, resulting in a hybrid multi-cloud, multi-tenant SaaS solution.
Deployment with Kubernetes for the application layer meant provisioning Kubernetes clusters managed by EKS and AKS, with a focus on integrating them into a multi-tenant environment. This integration was achieved by using Kubernetes namespaces and access controls to ensure data isolation and privacy enforcement.
In the database layer, we chose an RDS instance with PostgreSQL to support the backend infrastructure of our applications. Tenants shared the same RDS instance, but each had a dedicated schema.
To ingest near real-time data from physical charge points (CPOs), as IoT devices, via the OCPI protocol, we ran into significant delays with batch processing. As a result, we built a real-time streaming data pipeline using Apache Kafka, while prioritizing an event-driven architecture.
Led collaboration across multiple internal teams, external vendors, cloud providers, and on-site partners to integrate over five systems into a unified solution.
Achievements:
- Successfully designed and implemented hybrid multi-cloud solutions, integrating multiple cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) with on-premises infrastructure, using Site-to-Site VPNs, Firewalls, and Load Balancing.
- Led the migration of on-premises infrastructure to multi-cloud, multi-tenant infrastructure, resulting in 30% faster processing times.
- Migrated workloads from VMware and Hyper-V environments to cloud-based VMs, leveraging cloud-native services to optimize performance, cost efficiency, and scalability.
- Designed a multi-tenant Kubernetes platform leveraging the Kubernetes ecosystem, using Karpenter for dynamic EC2 node provisioning, KEDA for event-driven pod autoscaling (e.g., Kafka message lag), and Rancher for centralized monitoring of multiple clusters (EKS, AKS, or on-prem K8s), replacing Microsoft-centric Azure Arc management service.
- Designed and implemented Python-based FastAPI microservices as part of the EV core-backend on AWS EKS application layer, powering data ingestion and customer analytics pipelines.
- Developed asynchronous, event-driven APIs (Python-FastAPI) for real-time integration with CPOs, supporting OCPI 2.3 and OICP protocols.
- Designed and implemented a secure, production-grade Azure Databricks platform using Terraform, ensuring scalability and cost efficiency.
- Migrated on-premises ERP to a hybrid Dynamics 365 architecture with ERP hosted locally and CRM running in Azure, integrated via Azure Arc.
- Automated CI/CD pipelines for Databricks notebooks and jobs using GitHub Actions & Databricks CLI, reducing deployment time. Reduced infrastructure provisioning time by 70% by automating cloud resource deployment with GitOps.
- Ensured compliance with internal audit and data governance standards (GDPR) through OAuth2/OIDC-based authentication and fine-grained role-based access controls.
- Developed a Zero Trust security model, enforcing least-privilege access and microsegmentation, enhancing security posture and compliance with GDPR and NIST.
- Built interactive analytics dashboards in Amazon QuickSight, integrating data from S3 and Redshift to deliver real-time business insights and visualizations with embedded access for multi-tenant users.
- Led cloud security assessments and full-lifecycle cybersecurity integration during M&A, covering AWS, Azure, IAM (Entra ID), and data protection, while aligning security posture with NIST, ISO 27001, and GDPR across hybrid and cloud-native environments.
- Reduced cloud costs by 64% for a client's dev environment by implementing automated start/stop schedules for EC2 and RDS instances via AWS CDK with EventBridge Scheduler or AWS Systems Manager.

About the technology
What AppSync does
AWS AppSync is a managed service for building GraphQL APIs and real-time data services on AWS. It gives applications a structured way to request data, receive live updates and coordinate changes across web and mobile clients. Teams use it when the frontend needs responsive access to data from several backend sources.
Core architecture
AppSync connects schemas and resolvers to services such as Amazon DynamoDB, AWS Lambda, Amazon Aurora and HTTP endpoints. Experts define types, queries, mutations and subscriptions, then shape how data is fetched, transformed and secured. They also work with caching, pagination, error handling and direct database access where the design requires it.
Typical products
- Collaborative workspaces with live updates
- Mobile applications that continue working with limited connectivity
- Customer portals combining data from several AWS services
- Real-time dashboards, messaging features and event-driven interfaces
- GraphQL backends for web applications and connected devices
AppSync is useful when a product needs selective data access instead of large fixed responses. Its synchronization features can reduce custom polling and help clients stay current as records change.
Security and operations
Strong implementations combine AppSync authorization with Amazon Cognito, AWS Identity and Access Management, API keys or custom Lambda authorization. Professionals set clear access rules in the schema and validate them against tenant, user and resource boundaries. They also configure logging, monitoring, deployment automation and environment separation with services such as Amazon CloudWatch and AWS CDK.
When to hire specialists
Companies often bring in freelance expertise when a GraphQL layer must be introduced beside an existing REST estate, when real-time behavior is becoming hard to maintain, or when mobile synchronization needs careful design. In Germany, remote collaboration is common, while on-site workshops can help with domain modeling and security reviews. German or English communication may be relevant to the wider delivery team.
- Reshape an AppSync schema around changing product requirements
- Connect legacy APIs, databases and serverless functions
- Diagnose authorization, resolver or subscription issues
What strong experts deliver
The strongest AWS AppSync professionals link API design to product behavior rather than treating GraphQL as a thin integration layer. They explain trade-offs between direct resolvers and Lambda logic, design predictable schemas, and understand how client caching and subscriptions affect user experience. They leave behind tested infrastructure, clear documentation and an operating model the internal team can maintain.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about AWS AppSync — answered in short.
AWS AppSync is used to create managed GraphQL APIs that serve data to web, mobile and connected-device applications. It supports real-time subscriptions, offline synchronization and access to sources such as DynamoDB, Lambda, Aurora and HTTP services.
AWS AppSync lets clients request the fields they need through a typed GraphQL schema, while REST usually exposes fixed resource endpoints. AppSync can be a strong fit for varied frontend clients and live updates, but REST may remain simpler for stable, cache-heavy or externally standardized interfaces.
A strong AWS AppSync expert usually understands GraphQL schema design, resolver mapping and subscription behavior. Useful adjacent skills include DynamoDB data modeling, AWS Lambda, Cognito, IAM, CloudWatch, AWS CDK and frontend caching with libraries such as Apollo Client.
The required depth depends on the scope, data model and security needs rather than on the service name alone. A small API extension may need focused AppSync knowledge, while multi-tenant access, offline synchronization and several data sources call for a professional who has handled those concerns in production.
Yes. AWS AppSync work is well suited to remote delivery because schemas, infrastructure and tests can be reviewed in shared repositories and cloud environments. On-site sessions can still help with domain workshops, security decisions and coordination with German-speaking stakeholders.
AWS AppSync is often considered when a product needs GraphQL, subscriptions or coordinated offline behavior across clients. Amazon API Gateway may be preferable for REST or HTTP APIs, fine-grained routing and integrations where GraphQL's schema and resolver model add unnecessary complexity.
Ask how the professional would model authorization, errors, pagination and data access for the actual product. A capable AWS AppSync specialist can explain resolver trade-offs, test subscription behavior, identify N+1 risks and show how deployment, observability and schema changes will be managed.
Freelancers may design a GraphQL schema, migrate endpoints, connect DynamoDB or Lambda, configure Cognito authorization and improve real-time delivery. AWS AppSync assignments can also include performance diagnosis, infrastructure as code, client integration and documentation for an internal team.
