Kubernetes consulting

Production clusters with GitOps delivery — and a straight answer on whether you should run one at all.

Our position

Kubernetes solves real problems at real scale, and creates a substantial operational tax below it. The most valuable thing we do on this topic is frequently to talk a team out of it.

When it is justified — many services, multiple teams, genuine bin-packing economics, or a portability requirement — we build clusters that operate predictably: GitOps delivery, sane autoscaling, enforced network policy and resource limits that actually hold.

Questions

Kubernetes, specifically.

Do we actually need Kubernetes?

Often not. We assess honestly against service count, team structure and portability requirements. Recommending against it is a normal outcome of that conversation.

Can you take over an existing cluster nobody understands?

Yes. We start with an audit — what is running, how it was deployed, what is exposed, what would happen on node loss — then bring it under GitOps so the cluster state matches a repository you can read.

Next step

Tell us what you are building.

A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether we are the right firm for the problem. If we are not, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
