# Infrastructure Consolidation Plan
**Date**: 2025-01-27
**Purpose**: Plan for consolidating infrastructure across all projects
**Status**: Implementation Plan
---
## Executive Summary
This plan outlines the strategy for consolidating infrastructure services across 40+ projects, reducing costs by 30-40%, and improving operational efficiency.
**Key Goals**:
- Shared Kubernetes clusters (dev/staging/prod)
- Unified monitoring stack
- Shared database services
- Consolidated CI/CD infrastructure
- Unified ingress and networking
---
## Current State Analysis
### Infrastructure Distribution
**Kubernetes Clusters**:
- Multiple project-specific clusters
- Inconsistent configurations
- Duplicate infrastructure components
**Databases**:
- Separate PostgreSQL instances per project
- Separate Redis instances per project
- No shared database services
**Monitoring**:
- Project-specific Prometheus/Grafana instances
- Inconsistent logging solutions
- No centralized alerting
**CI/CD**:
- Project-specific pipelines
- Duplicate build infrastructure
- Inconsistent deployment patterns
