12 years. Multi-region GCP.
Payment-critical systems.

I'm Sina Moghaddas — Senior Platform Engineer at Mollie and founder of SRE Together. I write about the hard parts of operating infrastructure at scale: region switchovers, API gateway design, reliability at the payment layer, and the operational practices that keep systems running when everything is on the line.

What I Write About

  • Region switchovers — zero-downtime traffic migration at scale
  • API gateway design — Apache APISIX, circuit breaking, upstream isolation
  • SLOs and error budgets as tools for business alignment
  • Incident response — faster detection, structured learning, durable fixes
  • Observability patterns that make on-call less painful

Background

Currently Senior Platform Engineer at Mollie, where I own reliability and platform infrastructure for payment-critical systems across two active GCP regions. Previously ran SRE Together as an independent practice from 2016 to 2021, working with teams across OpenStack, Kubernetes, and Ceph at datacenter scale.
