Containerization

The same environment on a laptop, in CI, and in production. We containerise services so that "works on my machine" stops being a category of bug.

Containers solve a narrow problem extremely well: making the environment part of the artefact. That removes a whole class of failure where staging and production quietly differ by a library version nobody documented.


Where teams get into trouble is orchestration. Kubernetes is excellent and it is also a full-time system to operate. Plenty of products are better served by ECS, Fargate, or a managed platform, and we will say so rather than selling you a cluster you then have to staff.


When Kubernetes is the right answer, we set it up properly: sane resource limits, health checks that reflect reality, autoscaling tested under load, and manifests your team can read without a specialist on hand.

What this includes

  • /Dockerising existing services and legacy applications
  • /Multi-stage builds and image size optimisation
  • /Orchestration on ECS, Fargate, or Kubernetes
  • /Resource limits, health checks, and autoscaling
  • /Local development environments that match production
  • /Registry, image scanning, and supply-chain hygiene

When teams call us

  • /Environment drift between staging and production
  • /Onboarding that takes days because setup is fragile
  • /A Kubernetes cluster that has become nobody’s job
  • /Preparing a monolith for gradual decomposition
  • /Workloads that need to scale predictably under spikes

Cloud Architecture

Foundations sized to the workload you actually have. We design AWS environments that stay affordable at your current scale and do not need rebuilding at ten times it.

CI/CD Pipelines

Deployment should be the least interesting part of your week. We build pipelines that make shipping routine and rolling back a single click.

Monitoring

Know before your users tell you. We wire observability and on-call practice so problems surface early and get resolved without heroics.

Common questions

What does your containerization service include?+

We containerize existing services, optimize Docker images, set up local environments that match production, and configure orchestration, health checks, autoscaling, and image security.

Can you containerize an existing or legacy application?+

Yes. We can Dockerize existing services or legacy applications without requiring a full rewrite, making environments more consistent and deployments easier to manage.

Do you always recommend Kubernetes?+

No. We choose the simplest orchestration model that fits the workload. For many products, ECS, Fargate, or another managed platform is a better fit than Kubernetes.

Can you improve an existing Kubernetes setup?+

Yes. We can review and improve resource limits, health checks, autoscaling, manifests, deployment patterns, observability, and the overall operational setup.

Can containers help eliminate environment differences?+

Yes. Containers make application dependencies and runtime configuration part of the deployment artefact, helping keep development, CI, staging, and production environments consistent.

Do you handle container security and image management?+

Yes. We can set up registries, image scanning, multi-stage builds, dependency hygiene, and other controls that improve container security and supply-chain reliability.
