SentinelAura
Visual FinOps Orchestrator & Arbitrage Engine minimizing compute spend. Features a 3D Earth visualization using React Three Fiber for live global cluster latency and event sync.
The Problem
Enterprises face volatile cloud pricing across geographic regions, yet static deployments force them to pay peak prices. There was no visual, automated way to orchestrate workloads based on AWS spot-pricing anomalies in real-time.
System Architecture
A distributed orchestrator built in Go watches EC2 pricing markets. It hooks into Kubernetes via custom CRDs to drain and spin up pods automatically in cheaper regions. The frontend is a Next.js 15 app with a React Three Fiber WebGL Earth, plotting data center heatmaps and latency over WebSockets.

Technical Challenges & Trade-offs
Synchronizing state across geographic clusters without massive latency overhead. Implemented an eventual consistency model using Redis Streams. Visualizing thousands of concurrent network paths in the browser without freezing the UI required migrating calculations to Web Workers.
Business Impact & Metrics
Reduced compute spend by an average of 72% for test workloads. Successfully identified and executed geographic cloud arbitrage scenarios saving up to $420K/year in enterprise environments.
