Assess
We evaluate whether Kubernetes is the right tool for you — or whether managed containers serve you better.
Container orchestration design, cluster setup, and optimisation from engineers who'll tell you the truth about when Kubernetes is worth its complexity — and when managed containers win.
Kubernetes is the de facto standard for orchestrating containers at scale — running, scaling, healing, and networking your services across a cluster. It's powerful and, famously, complex. Kubernetes consultancy is about getting that power without drowning in the complexity: the right cluster design, sensible defaults, and an honest assessment of whether you need it at all.
We help teams design and run Kubernetes properly: cluster architecture, networking and ingress, autoscaling, resource management, secrets, observability, and CI/CD into the cluster. We also do the unglamorous optimisation work — fixing noisy-neighbour problems, right-sizing, and taming cost — that turns a fragile cluster into a dependable platform.
Crucially, we'll tell you the truth. For many teams, managed container services like AWS ECS deliver what they need with far less operational burden — and we run those in production too. We recommend Kubernetes when the scale, portability, or ecosystem genuinely earns its complexity, not because it's fashionable.
We evaluate whether Kubernetes is the right tool for you — or whether managed containers serve you better.
Cluster architecture: networking, ingress, autoscaling, resource limits, and multi-environment strategy.
Cluster setup, workload manifests/Helm, secrets, and CI/CD into the cluster with GitOps where it fits.
Right-sizing, autoscaling tuning, cost control, and reliability hardening.
Observability, runbooks, and knowledge transfer so your team runs the cluster confidently.
Automatic scaling, restarts, and rescheduling keep services up under load and failure.
A consistent runtime across clouds and environments reduces lock-in.
Run more workloads on fewer nodes with smart resource scheduling.
We'll steer you to simpler managed containers when Kubernetes would be overkill.
Right-sizing and autoscaling tuning stop clusters from quietly burning budget.
Service mesh, GitOps, and operators when you genuinely need them.
Production-ready clusters on EKS, GKE, or AKS with sensible defaults.
Fix reliability, right-size resources, and cut cost on existing clusters.
Declarative, version-controlled deploys into the cluster with ArgoCD or Flux.
Move workloads onto Kubernetes safely, in slices.
Metrics, logs, and alerting tuned for container workloads.
An honest assessment of whether you should be on Kubernetes at all.
The right tool for the job, chosen on fit and reliability — not on what we're married to.
We run containers in production — including auto-scaling, multi-service AWS infrastructure behind ShiftERP (ECS, ALB, EC2 Auto Scaling). That means we know orchestration from operating it, and we'll give you the honest call on Kubernetes versus simpler managed containers.
No fashion-driven complexity. Senior engineers, real systems, 11+ products shipped — recommending what you should actually run.
Often not — and we'll say so. Many teams are better served by managed container services like AWS ECS. We recommend Kubernetes only when scale, portability, or ecosystem needs genuinely justify the complexity.
