Container Orchestration Platform
An enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform that provides a self-service developer experience with production-grade security, observability, and governance.
The Challenge
An enterprise struggled with container adoption:
- Inconsistent deployments - Each team doing Kubernetes differently
- Security gaps - No standardized security controls
- Observability blind spots - Can't troubleshoot distributed apps
- Slow onboarding - Weeks to provision new services
They needed a platform that democratized Kubernetes.
Our Approach
We built an internal developer platform on Kubernetes with guardrails.
Platform Strategy
- Self-Service - Developers deploy without tickets
- Standardized - Consistent patterns across teams
- Secure by Default - Built-in security controls
- Observable - Full visibility into all services
The Solution
Kubernetes Foundation
- Multi-cluster management
- Namespace isolation
- Resource quotas
- Network policies
Service Mesh
- Istio for traffic management
- mTLS between services
- Traffic splitting for canaries
- Circuit breakers
GitOps
- ArgoCD for deployments
- Git as source of truth
- Automated sync
- Drift detection
Observability
- Prometheus metrics
- Grafana dashboards
- Distributed tracing
- Log aggregation
