Technology increasingly demands that agile and scalable solutions be centralized to ensure the proper performance of business infrastructures. After all, meeting the new market demands requires going far beyond the traditional.
In this context, Kubernetes emerges as an essential solution for container orchestration, offering a robust platform to manage and scale applications in distributed environments.
Before we dive into this journey, let’s first explain a bit about this innovation.
What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is an open-source platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and operation of software containers.
Imagine an application composed of several services that need to run together, but each of them may have different resource requirements and configurations. Therefore, it’s essential that everything operates in synergy, and like a conductor, Kubernetes dynamically coordinates these services.
That’s because it facilitates the distribution of containers across a cluster of machines, ensuring the availability and adaptability of services as needed. The solution allows development and innovation to continue without interruptions.
Kubernetes has become the standard, especially in PaaS and IaaS architectures!
Major companies have delayed or slowed down their operations due to security issues.
According to the 2023 edition of Red Hat’s Kubernetes Security State report, 67% of DevOps professionals interviewed had to slow down some application deployment due to security concerns.
This reflects the complexity and critical importance of this aspect throughout the entire application lifecycle.
The need to ensure security from development through deployment and maintenance can overwhelm many organizations. Especially when trying to balance the protection of sensitive data and customer information with agility.
Therefore, having a team of specialists aligned with Kubernetes best practices becomes a priority to protect an organization’s valuable assets and, most importantly, to avoid disruptions and high costs in the future.
Inside the Wevy Kubernetes Service®
Always understanding market needs and empowering companies, Wevy relies on Kubernetes experts. These professionals transform the way organizations manage applications, regardless of complexities and specific requirements.
Within this activity, cluster configurations and deployments are easily streamlined. In addition, the service itself automates security updates and resource management, making them resilient.
Check out the story of one of our clients who strengthened their operation with Wevy Kubernetes Services®!
An operation with continuous interruptions
A global-level client in the e-commerce sector had a legacy environment with several critical applications.
In addition, the lack of documentation, support, and governance created complexities that posed a significant risk to service continuity.
In practice, any maintenance in the environment resulted in total service downtime. Moreover, the monolithic architecture of the environment meant that any single point of failure could bring down the entire system — a considerable risk for an operation of this magnitude.
It was time for a change!
With manual resource allocation and the lack of an orchestration system, achieving scalability was impossible. Therefore, a turning point became necessary for the company.
They realized that every attempt at evolution was being blocked by the use of outdated operating systems without proper support, and most importantly, by failures that resulted in compliance and security issues.
In addition to requiring internal change, the culture of innovation also needed to be a constant presence. Therefore, the search for expertise became a top priority for them.
Immediate evolution and high availability
Wevy implemented Kubernetes as the container orchestration solution, offering high availability, scalability, and ease of maintenance.
Following this implementation, the company executed and coordinated these services efficiently, even though each of them had its own specific resource and configuration requirements.
Another highlight is the improved performance in handling system capacity automatically during traffic spikes. A crucial capability during seasonal promotion periods, for example.
A new perspective on the business
As a result, the client gained consistent availability, and if any service fails, Wevy Kubernetes Services® immediately recovers everything using automatic load balancing.
Among the various highlights, the company’s operational autonomy stands out, with its applications automatically adjusting to demand without the need for manual intervention. This ensures effectiveness in digital operations and prepares the company for adversities with an agile and scalable approach.
Security, proximity, and significance
Alongside Wevy, the company ensured that its applications are managed efficiently. With high availability and scalability, so it can focus on what truly matters: its growth in the market.
“The project was a complex challenge due to the critical nature of the applications involved and the need for a smooth transition to a modern and scalable architecture. With the Wevy Kubernetes® Service, we were able not only to solve the issues of availability and maintenance but also to prepare our client’s environment for future expansions and technological innovations,” says Daniel Franke, Tech Lead at Wevy.
