Appscode Ltd.

Run Kubernetes your way is the line that sums up AppsCode Inc., the company that trades as Appscode Ltd., which makes tools that let data workloads run inside Kubernetes clusters. Its stated mission is to speed the move to containers by creating a Kubernetes-native data platform, and its products are meant to work on any public or private cloud.

Databases as a managed layer: KubeDB

KubeDB handles the routine work of keeping databases alive on Kubernetes: provisioning, upgrades, scaling, volume expansion, monitoring, backup, restore, failure detection and repair. The company says it supports over two dozen database engines, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis and Elasticsearch, with any storage underneath, and pairs the software with enterprise service levels and support.

Protecting data: KubeStash

KubeStash is described as a Kubernetes-native disaster recovery tool that backs up and restores both volumes and databases, across public and private clouds.

Secrets and traffic

KubeVault deploys and configures HashiCorp's Vault on Kubernetes in a way that fits GitOps workflows. Features named on the site include automatic initialization and unsealing, consuming secrets through the CSI driver and managing database user privileges, with a choice of storage backend. Voyager Gateway is a secure HAProxy-based ingress controller. The company has also published tooling to provision cloud resources through Kubernetes custom resources and Terraform across several cloud platforms.

Authentication with Guard

Guard is a Kubernetes webhook authentication server. With it, people can log in to a cluster using a GitHub or Google token, and their groups are set from GitHub teams or Google groups, so administrators can write access rules based on team membership.

Services around the products

For teams that want help rather than only software, the company offers enterprise support and managed services. The site lists application modernization, moving a monolith to microservices, GitOps consulting and work on CI/CD and the developer experience.

Who it is for

The audience is organizations running containers in production that need their stateful workloads, backups and secrets handled in a Kubernetes-native way rather than bolted on from outside.
