Kubernetes Engineering

Kubernetes has become a platform nobody wants to touch.

Fix Our Kubernetes

The problem

Production-grade Kubernetes architecture, deployment, security, observability and operations.

Who it's for

Teams running clusters that were set up quickly, have drifted, and are now upgraded nervously — or not at all.

Approach

How we work through it.

  1. 01

    Assess cluster topology, version skew and upgrade risk before changing workloads.

  2. 02

    Fix workload fundamentals: requests and limits, probes, PDBs, graceful shutdown.

  3. 03

    Make scaling explicit with HPA, Cluster Autoscaler or Karpenter and tested capacity limits.

  4. 04

    Harden the cluster: RBAC, network policy, admission control, image provenance.

  5. 05

    Automate delivery with GitOps so cluster state matches a reviewed repository.

Deliverables

What you end up with.

  • Cluster architecture and upgrade runbook
  • Hardened baseline manifests and Helm charts
  • GitOps delivery with Argo CD
  • Autoscaling and capacity model
  • Cluster observability and alerting

Technologies

  • Kubernetes
  • EKS
  • AKS
  • Helm
  • Argo CD
  • Karpenter
  • Cilium
  • Prometheus
  • OpenTelemetry

Typical engagement

2-week review, then 6–12 weeks of remediation and platform work depending on cluster count.

Questions

Before you email us.

Do we even need Kubernetes?
Often not. If a managed container runtime or serverless option would carry your workload with less operational burden, we will say so — including when it means less work for us.
Can you upgrade a cluster that is years behind?
Yes, and it is one of the most common requests. We sequence it: inventory deprecated APIs, get workloads healthy, prove the path in a non-production cluster, then upgrade in steps with a rollback position at each one.

Start with a two-week Infrastructure Review.

Fixed scope, starting at €3,000, and a 90-day roadmap you keep whether or not we implement it.
