Kubernetes
For orchestrating containers at production scale
What it is
Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that automates deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications across a cluster of machines.
Why it matters
As a system's traffic and service count grow, manually managing containers becomes impractical. Kubernetes automates scaling, recovery from failures, and rolling deployments.
Where we use it
On larger or higher-traffic systems where multiple services need coordinated scaling and reliability beyond what a single server or simple container setup can provide.
Capabilities
What we do with it
- Automated scaling of containerized services
- Self-healing infrastructure (automatic restart/recovery)
- Rolling deployments with minimal downtime
