Kubernetes & Cloud Platform

GKE clusters on Google Cloud, designed to be boring to operate and sized to what you actually run.

The challenge

Sound familiar?

Many teams end up with a cluster nobody fully understands: workloads deployed by hand, node pools sized for a peak that never comes, databases running inside the cluster with no backups, and a monthly bill that keeps creeping up.

Or the opposite — everything still lives on a single VPS or shared host, and every release is a manual SSH session.

Our approach

What we do

  • 01

    Cluster design

    We lay out GKE clusters with clear namespaces, node pools matched to workload profiles, Workload Identity instead of key files, and private access to managed services.

  • 02

    Helm charts for every service

    Each application gets a chart with sane resource requests, health probes, a read-only root filesystem and non-root users, so every service is deployed the same way.

  • 03

    Managed data, not pets

    Databases move to Cloud SQL with point-in-time recovery, media to Cloud Storage, and caches to dedicated instances — out of the cluster and backed up.

  • 04

    Cost review

    We look at requests versus real usage, idle resources, egress and storage classes, and cut what is not pulling its weight.

What you get

  • A documented GKE cluster with namespaces, node pools and network policy
  • Helm charts for your services, kept in Git
  • Managed PostgreSQL with private connectivity and point-in-time recovery
  • Workload Identity for access to cloud services, no long-lived keys
  • A written cost review with concrete changes applied
