We hold no reseller commission on Kubernetes. That is what makes the trade-off line above worth reading. It costs us nothing to tell you when this is the wrong choice.

Building with Kubernetes

Kubernetes is strongest at portability and fine-grained control over scaling and scheduling. We reach for it when that is the property a workload actually depends on, and we say so when it is not.

We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions

What is Kubernetes best at?

Portability and fine-grained control over scaling and scheduling.

When would you not use Kubernetes?

An operational burden most teams below a certain size should not take on. We would look at LiveKit or Vercel in that situation.

Do you have a commercial relationship with Kubernetes?

No. We hold no reseller commission on any technology we recommend, which is what lets the trade-off above be stated plainly.

Can you work with our existing Kubernetes setup?

Yes. We would rather extend and stabilise something that already works than introduce a parallel system your team has to learn.

Working with Kubernetes?

Tell us the workload and we will tell you whether this is the right tool for it.
