Custom Kubernetes development services
You’ve probably used products built by our Kubernetes developers.
We provide end-to-end Kubernetes development services, from initial platform engineering to application modernization. Our focus is on delivering secure and cost-effective platforms that turn Kubernetes into a strategic asset, not an operational burden.
Kubernetes Platform Engineering
We design and build internal platforms that give development teams a secure, self-service foundation. Our engineers codify Kubernetes provisioning to deliver consistent environments across dev, test, and production. We enforce enterprise guardrails with policy-driven controls and strict role-based access control (RBAC), creating a resilient platform that accelerates delivery without sacrificing compliance.
Cloud-Native Application Modernization
We containerize legacy and existing applications, refactoring them into a modern microservices architecture ready for Kubernetes. Our modernization process is designed for zero-data-loss cut-overs while ensuring optimal performance. We map dependencies and automate migrations to streamline the application deployment process using strategies like blue-green releases. The result is scalable and resilient cloud-native applications that are aligned with modern reliability patterns.
Kubernetes Security & DevOps
We secure Kubernetes environments with DevOps automation and strict security controls. Our experts provision clusters with hardened configurations, role-based access, and network isolation. Using CI/CD integrations, we embed vulnerability scanning and policy enforcement into every deployment. Monitoring and runtime defense safeguard workloads in real time, while compliance reporting aligned with SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR keeps clusters audit-ready. The result is a platform that runs resilient, efficient, and secure without slowing delivery.
Multi-Cluster Deployments
For enterprises operating across geographies, we manage deployments across multiple cloud providers and hybrid environments. We build federated Kubernetes clusters that replicate services while isolating workloads for data sovereignty. Using a service mesh and global DNS, we coordinate traffic management and disaster scenarios between each remote Kubernetes cluster. The payoff is consistent uptime and regional autonomy.
Kubernetes Performance & Cost Optimization
Our approach balances the demands of your applications with the reality of your cloud budget. Using a data-driven observability stack, we correlate resource utilization directly with cloud spend. This allows us to right-size workloads, fine-tune autoscaling policies, and eliminate waste, ensuring your platform is both powerful and cost-effective.
Kubernetes Quality Assurance
In distributed systems, real-world failures happen in the connections between your services, not in a simple unit test. Our reliability engineers go beyond basic testing, using advanced disciplines like chaos engineering and distributed load testing to find weak points before they impact your users. We build the automated frameworks that prove your platform is resilient and production-ready.
Managed Kubernetes Operations
We offer a fully managed service to handle the day-to-day operational burden of your Kubernetes clusters. Our SRE teams provide proactive monitoring, incident response, and lifecycle management—including upgrades and patching—to ensure your platform remains stable, secure, and available, letting your development teams focus on shipping applications.

Kubernetes FAQ
What tech leaders ask about Kubernetes before pulling us in:
Will we work directly with senior Kubernetes developers?
Yes. You work directly with our senior engineers, who average 10+ years of production experience. They embed in your team, joining your stand-ups and Slack, to ensure clear communication and fast decisions.
How do you vet Kubernetes engineers before assigning them to our project?
We vet engineers using a multi-month process featuring hands-on technical assessments and interviews specific to Kubernetes development. This ensures you get a proven contributor who can solve problems under pressure, not a junior learning on the job.
How do you handle changing project requirements or a need to scale the team?
Our overall bench of 4,000+ software engineers gives us a deep and diverse range of expertise. Whether you need to scale your core team or add a specialist with a niche skill set, we can typically identify and staff the right expert in 2 to 4 weeks, sometimes sooner. You can scale up quickly based on your needs.
How do you migrate legacy workloads to Kubernetes without downtime?
We migrate legacy applications from VMs or on-premise environments to Kubernetes through profiling, image creation, and phased traffic shifts. Our process includes auditing dependencies and scripting infra-as-code to create new, efficient containerized applications. This allows you to retire fragile infrastructure, gain elastic capacity, and reduce infrastructure costs without a complete rewrite.
How do you protect mission-critical applications from downtime?
When downtime costs millions, recovery for your critical workloads must be provable. We leverage Kubernetes’ self-healing capabilities to automatically replace failed containers and design cross-zone replication. Our approach aligns platform resilience with RTO/RPO targets, ensuring business continuity even under regional outages.
What is your approach to quality assurance (QA) for applications on Kubernetes?
Our QA strategy for Kubernetes is multi-layered. We start with a strong foundation of automated unit and integration tests that run in the CI/CD pipeline. For a full-system view, we then add performance and end-to-end testing to validate application behavior under realistic load.
What are common pitfalls in Kubernetes security hardening?
The most common pitfall is focusing on just one layer. We implement a defense-in-depth strategy, addressing security from the container image and network policies up to RBAC and admission control.
Do you have experience with Kubernetes in regulated industries?
Yes, building compliant Kubernetes platforms is a core competency. We understand that regulated industries require auditable proof. Our process automates evidence collection, from GitOps audit trails to signed artifacts, to satisfy demanding frameworks like SOC 2 or HIPAA.
