Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source system for running containers at scale. It schedules containers across servers, restarts them if they fail, rolls out new versions gradually and scales services up or down with demand. Managed versions include EKS, AKS and GKE.

How we use Kubernetes

• Running microservices and multi-service applications on managed Kubernetes clusters.
• Setting up rolling deployments, health checks and automatic scaling.
• Managing configuration and secrets securely across environments.
• Adding monitoring and logging so problems are visible quickly.

When Kubernetes is the right choice

Kubernetes is valuable for larger platforms with several services, strict uptime needs and variable traffic. For a single application it adds cost and complexity; a simple container platform or a well-configured server is usually the better choice.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Kubernetes for my startup?

Usually not at the start. A simple container platform or a single well-configured server is cheaper and easier. Kubernetes becomes worthwhile when you run several services with demanding uptime or scaling needs.

What does managed Kubernetes mean?

The cloud provider runs and updates the cluster control plane (as with EKS, AKS or GKE), while we manage the applications and settings running on it.

Can Kubernetes scale automatically?

Yes. It can add or remove application copies based on CPU, memory or custom metrics, and cluster autoscaling can add servers when demand rises.
