Estacore

Once you specify how much RAM and CPU each container needs, Kubernetes automatically fits the containers onto nodes to efficiently manage resources and adjust them to your requirements

Kubernetes takes full care of non-responding containers, can restart the failed ones, and can replace the non-performing containers to always keep the system running

Kubernetes provides secure storage for your passwords, OAuth tokens, and SSH keys and allows you to deploy and update secrets and app configuration without the need to rebuild container images

CI-CD and Git flow for Kubernetes

The planning stage involves creating an approved list of improvements for future product versions This step is the last one in the development cycle and gradually leads to the beginning of a new cycle

The first step in the CI/CD pipeline is writing concise code The code is the cornerstone of every software application so it has to be neat, error-free, and secure

This is where new changes to app code are created and compiled to later be sent for testing With Continuous Integration, new code is automatically put in a queue for testing

We can help you automate testing via CI to speed up the testing process and to ensure no bugs reach end-users In addition, automated tests provide faster feedback loops and faster issues detection

The code will be delivered to the app repository and the new app version will be released as a Helm chart Once the code is approved to be bug-free, the CI automatically sends it to the staging environment for release

The new code is deployed to the production environment and is received by end-users The deployment can be performed either manually or automatically

If you sign an SLA agreement with Estacore, we provide full maintenance of the app in production in order to make sure it functions as intended and eliminate any occurring issues

We monitor how the application and the Kubernetes cluster perform in order to detect and eliminate any issues that may occur The results will be taken into consideration for future software development to enhance quality

GitOps approach: the full app’s description is stored in Git to exclude any inconsistencies upon the app’s deployment

360-degree testing: automation tests, security tests, continuous code quality checks

Helm charts for easy app management: Helm improves productivity and eases the deployment of microservices

Easy upgrading/downgrading of product versions: all processes are visualized for more efficient management

No downtime during updates/downgrades: CI/CD ensures your product performs 24/7 despite any possible risks

Development and delivery of commercial solutions for external customers becomes very simple: all you have to do is send them a Helm chart that already contains all changes

Granular version control: due to the description of all microservices as a whole, you control every version and can always access its state

Predictable performance and testing: because stage and production always have the same version, the performance and end-to-end testing will always be consistent

CI/CD is that missing piece of the puzzle that you need to tap into digital transformation No more slow-downs or inconsistencies in your processes - CI/CD will take your business to the next level Faster time to market, increased agility, and seamless deployment and production - these are just some of the benefits that CI/CD will bring you

• AUDIT The first step is the assessment of your existing infrastructure, application architecture, and deployment processes to provide you with detailed recommendations for possible improvements
