The founder

Behind Lx8 Labs

Alexei Ferreira
Founder · Lx8 Labs
DevOps Cloud Kubernetes AI/ML Physics Founded 2013

Lx8 Labs was built around the intersections of DevOps, AI, and theoretical physics — three lineages that don't usually share a roof. The studio is a single small institution carrying that work forward, piece by piece, project by project.

My work spans cloud infrastructure, developer tooling (Tupã IDE), and original research on light-gravity interactions. I believe the best engineers understand the fundamentals deeply — which is why every course and product I build starts from first principles.

Lx8 Labs is inspired by Bell Labs: a place where scientific curiosity and engineering excellence coexist. We're just getting started.

Courses

Practical, in-depth courses built by a DevOps engineer. No fluff — just what works in production.

Learning · Interactive

Algorithm Lab

39 classic algorithms as interactive 3D visualizations — from Euclid's GCD (300 BCE) to Tim Sort (2002). Watch the source code highlight in lock-step with the 3D scene as live variables update.

Chronological view
Browse algorithms grouped by era — Ancient, 1950s "Big Bang", 1960s Theory Era, modern.
{ }
Synchronized code
Pseudocode highlights the executing line as the visualization runs. Slow down to follow along.
Live variables
A "STATE" panel shows current values of i, j, arr[mid], distances, memo tables — anything that matters.
🎓
Origin stories
Every algorithm shows year, creator and a one-paragraph history — Hoare in Moscow, Williams' 1964 heap, Hunt & McIlroy at Bell Labs.

Services

IT Consulting

Strategic engineering guidance from someone who's shipped it in production. No jargon — just results.

⚙️
DevOps Transformation
Audit your current pipeline, introduce CI/CD, containerisation, and IaC. We bring engineering best practices to teams at any stage.
☁️
Cloud Architecture & Migration
Design and execute cloud strategies on AWS, GCP, or Azure. From lift-and-shift to cloud-native re-architecture.
🤖
AI Integration
Help your team identify where AI adds real value, then build, deploy, and monitor the models in production without hype.
🔐
Security & Compliance
Security embedded into the SDLC — secrets management, vulnerability scanning, and policy automation for regulated industries.
📊
Observability & SRE
Set up full-stack observability: metrics, logs, traces. Define SLOs and build on-call processes that don't burn out your team.
