Technologies
Kubernetes is a production-ready container orchestration platform that allows you to deploy, run, and scale containers.

Kubernetes – run containers at scale

Kubernetes is a platform that empowers you to run Docker containers in a distributed cluster. Originally built by Google in 2014, its further development is backed by all major cloud vendors today. Kubernetes treats a network of computers as if it was a single large machine, with almost endless resources to run containers. For us, Kubernetes is the perfect foundation for the deployment and operation of large-scale web and cloud applications.

Distributed

Graph with spread out nodes
Kubernetes is a distributed platform, that makes it easy to run containers in a cluster of machines. This allows you to deploy, run and wire up container-based applications in a reliable and scalable way.

Containers

Container cargo ship
Since Kubernetes was designed from scratch to use containers, application developers do not need to know any details about the actual infrastructure. Instead, they get a generic abstraction layer they can build upon.

Scalable

Bar chart with growing bars and upwards arrow
Kubernetes supports distributing and scaling application containers out of the box. This enables you to focus on developing your application, without having to think about operations all the time.

Consulting

How to design applications to run in a containerized environment at scale? How to run Kubernetes for production, and how to run it for testing? How to update and monitor Kubernetes clusters, including the applications running on top of it? These and similar questions arise frequently in every Kubernetes project. If you face these questions, too, we are there to help by sharing our experience and giving advise. Let's get in touch!

Designing architectures

Compass
A containerized architecture needs to support elastic scaling, failover, and many other things. We help to design distributed architectures for web and cloud applications, and to apply container-ready infrastructure.

Ensuring quality

Check list
Kubernetes enables you to set up an infrastructure for production as well as for testing. We help our customers to set up and secure Kubernetes, to get them quickly up and running, be it self-hosted or managed.

Applying operations

Computer with gears
Using Kubernetes to run applications means to take care of the cluster and the applications. You need to update things regularly, and you want to get notified when something fails. We help with both.

Development

Regardless of the conceptual effort you have already put into a project, sometimes you just don't have the people with the required experience to move things forward. We at the native web do not only have many years of experience with Kubernetes, we also have extensive knowledge about the development and architecture of web and cloud applications in general. Whatever you are looking for, we will be the right development partner for you. Let's get in touch!

12 factor apps

Triangle ruler and pen
We develop state-of-the-art web and cloud applications that follow the guidelines of twelve-factor apps. This enables support for elastic scalability, failover, and anything else needed by containerized applications.

Testing

Certificate
We develop flexible container-based test environments that can be set up using code. This empowers you to get a repeatable and predictable test infrastructure for your applications whenever you need it.

Deployment

Container cargo ship
We develop deployment solutions based on Kubernetes that incorporate multi-stage builds. We use containers to gain parity between dev and prod environments, which closes the gap between tests and reality.

Your journey to Kubernetes

We believe that having the chance to learn and to evolve every day is a valuable privilege that we are very thankful for. Having a deep desire for knowledge, we take hard problems as welcome challenges, not vice versa. Hence, we would like to empower you by sharing the following resources on Kubernetes.

Let's go

Compass rose
For a first impression, visit the official Kubernetes website. Learn about the base concepts, such as pods, services, and ingress controllers. Get to know the kubectl CLI tool, and deploy some first pods.

En route

Map with location pointer
Once you know the basics, learn about volumes, persistent volumes, and also storage classes. Understand network policies and how to apply them. Read about configurations, secrets, and their individual advantages.

No limits

Mountain with flag on top
Learn how to professionally run and update applications, managed using deployments. Read about jobs and scheduled jobs to run administrative tasks. Finally, learn how to manage Kubernetes itself.
