It all starts with the development of a roadmap for a modern, future-ready cloud native architecture based on your unique requirements. Whether on AWS, Azure, GCP, or all of the above does matter. Increasingly differentiated, some clouds are more suitable for specific use cases than others. Other strategic considerations include whether to leverage cloud services or their open source cloud-native counterparts. Which infrastructure as code toolkit to use, how do set up disaster recovery, ensure reliability, and manage costs efficiently.

A cloud-native architecture should be able to span multiple environments, whether your current requirements demand it or not. Given the pace of technology developments, chances are, they’ll change sooner rather than later, and we want to ensure you don’t have to rearchitect your system yet again.

Before containerizing your applications, they must be made cloud native compatible. We’ll help you create templates (e.g. Helm) and additional end points for Kubernetes compatibility (e.g. health checks, logging, monitoring, etc.). Finally, your cloud native compatible applications will be injected into the pipeline. An automated CI/DC pipeline for canary, blue-green releases or both with an appropriate service mesh will be implemented. Security is built into the developer and testing pipeline (vulnerability test, static code test, etc.) and a proper container registry set up.
