Alexa Amundson

Solutions Architect

Summary

Designed a hybrid architecture that combines $700 in edge hardware with Cloudflare's global network — 178 cloud resources, 48+ domains, 7 nodes, 52 TOPS AI compute, all working as one system. The proof is that it's running right now.


Experience

BlackRoad OS | Founder & Solutions Architect | 2025Present

The Design Decision: Why Hybrid

  • Pure cloud: fast to start, expensive to scale, no data sovereignty. Pure edge: cheap to run, limited reach, hard to expose
  • Combined both: Cloudflare for global CDN, edge compute, and serverless databases. Pi fleet for persistent workloads, AI inference, and data ownership
  • WireGuard mesh connects everything. Cloudflare tunnels expose services. Tailscale provides management plane. Three networking layers, one unified system

The Stack: 178 Cloudflare Resources + 7 Fleet Nodes

  • 99 Pages (global CDN) + 23 D1 (serverless SQL) + 47 KV (edge config) + 11 R2 (object storage) = 178 managed resources
  • 5 Pi nodes for persistent compute: Docker, Ollama, PostgreSQL, Nginx. 2 cloud VMs for VPN hub and public services
  • AI inference distributed across 3 nodes with 52 TOPS — requests route to the node with the right model loaded

The Validation

  • This architecture runs 48+ production domains, serves real traffic, and costs under $50/month in cloud spend. The rest is hardware you own
  • 283 databases across 5 engines — each one placed where the latency and consistency requirements demand it
