Kubernetes & Containerization Services
Production-grade clusters — not just kubectl apply and hope.
Kubernetes is easy to get running and genuinely hard to run well — the gap between a cluster that works in a demo and one that survives a node failure, a bad deploy, and a security review is where most of our engineering time actually goes.
What's included
- EKS, AKS, or GKE cluster setup and hardening
- Helm chart authoring for your workloads
- Service mesh setup (Istio or Linkerd) where warranted
- Pod autoscaling (HPA and KEDA for event-driven workloads)
- cert-manager and Ingress NGINX configuration
How we build a cluster
We scope RBAC per-namespace and per-workload from the first deploy, set resource requests before touching autoscaling, and treat PodDisruptionBudgets and readiness probes as required, not optional. Every cluster ships with an observability stack (Prometheus + Grafana at minimum) wired in from day one, and an upgrade strategy that's been rehearsed, not improvised at the next Kubernetes release.
Who this is for
Teams running real microservices that have outgrown a single VM or App Service, multi-tenant SaaS platforms that need workload isolation, and teams running batch or ML workloads that benefit from Kubernetes' scheduling and autoscaling rather than fixed compute.
Common questions
Is Kubernetes overkill for us?
Often, yes — and we'll tell you that directly during scoping. If your workload is a handful of services with predictable load, a simpler platform (App Service, ECS, Cloud Run) is usually the right call. Kubernetes earns its complexity at real microservice or multi-tenant scale.
Do you support all three major managed Kubernetes services?
Yes — EKS, AKS, and GKE, chosen based on where your other infrastructure already lives rather than a default preference.
Do you provide ongoing support after the cluster is live?
Yes, through our Monitoring & Observability service and ongoing retainer support — a cluster we hand off with no ongoing relationship isn't how we scope these engagements.
