Kubernetes, only where it earns its keep

Production-grade clusters that scale when traffic spikes and shrink (with the bill) when it doesn't — minus the thousands of lines of YAML nobody understands.

You're probably here because

Your clusters are over-provisioned and the bill shows it.
Deploys are fragile, and only one person understands the Helm charts.
You're not sure you even needed Kubernetes — but here you are.

What you get

An honest answer first: if managed services or a handful of containers do the job, you will hear that — Kubernetes goes in only when your scale or team size earns it.
Right-sized workloads based on real 95th-percentile usage from Prometheus, not guesses. Most clusters idle near 10% CPU — you are paying for the rest.
Karpenter autoscaling that mixes spot and on-demand (stateless workloads run ~70% cheaper on spot), provisions nodes in seconds, and consolidates the idle ones.
Non-negotiable health probes — liveness, readiness, and startup — so a broken pod leaves the load balancer instead of quietly serving errors.
Hardened containers: distroless images (~80× smaller than Ubuntu, tiny attack surface), non-root, read-only root filesystem, dropped Linux capabilities, and Trivy scanning that fails the build on critical CVEs.
Zero-trust networking with network policies (Cilium), Pod Security Standards set to "restricted", and secrets in Secrets Manager or Vault — never environment variables.
GitOps with ArgoCD: the cluster always matches git, every change is a commit, and rollback is a git revert.

TL;DR

Clusters that cost less, recover on their own, and don't need a babysitter.

Common questions

Do I actually need Kubernetes?

Maybe not. If managed services or a few containers do the job, I'll tell you — and save you the operational tax.

EKS or GKE?

Both work. I pick based on where your team and the rest of your stack already live.

How do you keep the containers secure?

Distroless images with no shell or package manager, running non-root on a read-only filesystem with Linux capabilities dropped, plus image scanning in CI. If something ever gets remote code execution, there is nothing inside to exploit — that is the difference between an incident and a catastrophe.
