Kubernetes consulting, right-sized rather than over-engineered
Kubernetes is not the right call for every project, but when it fits, it deserves to be set up properly. We deliver cluster setup, Helm charts, GitOps, and an honest cost and security review instead of dropping a generic template on your team. And when Docker Compose or a managed service is enough, we will tell you that too.
What we set up
We build production-ready Kubernetes clusters on Hetzner, GCP, AWS, or Azure, with Helm charts for your deployments and GitOps as the single source of truth. That includes horizontal pod autoscaling, ingress and TLS, clean RBAC, and Prometheus with Grafana for monitoring and alerting. Existing Docker workloads get containerized and migrated in stages, with no big-bang cutover.
How we work
We start with a review of your current deployments and requirements and define what Kubernetes should actually buy you here. The entire infrastructure is described as code with Terraform and Ansible, version-controlled in Git and reproducible with a single command. Every week you get a demo and a clear status, so your team ends up owning a documented, maintainable cluster rather than a black box.
The technology stack
Kubernetes and Helm for orchestration and packaging, Docker for images, Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure as code on properly hardened Linux. We build CI/CD pipelines with GitLab or GitHub Actions, including automated rollouts and rollbacks. For cost and security reviews we check resource limits, node sizing, network policies, and secrets handling against your real workload.
When Kubernetes is not the answer
Honest consulting means telling you when to skip it. For a single service or an early MVP, Docker Compose, a managed container service, or a lean VM is often cheaper, faster, and less error-prone. We recommend Kubernetes only once you have several services, real scaling needs, or multi-environment requirements, and we explain the reasoning so the decision holds up.
What you get out of it
- A production-ready cluster your team can operate on its own, not a black box
- GitOps deployments with automatic rollbacks: auditable, repeatable, and traceable
- Autoscaling and right-sized nodes that follow the load instead of sitting idle and expensive
- A cost and security review that surfaces wasted resources and open attack surface
- EU-sovereign hosting on Hetzner or EU regions of GCP and AWS, GDPR-compliant and free of vendor lock-in
- A straight answer on whether Kubernetes is even worth it for you

Frequently asked questions
What does Kubernetes consulting cost?
It depends on scope, from a focused cost and security review to a full cluster setup with GitOps. We start with a short, no-obligation call and then give you a clear estimate with a fixed frame, not open-ended hourly billing.
How long does a Kubernetes setup take?
A clean, production-ready cluster with Helm charts, GitOps, and monitoring typically comes together in a few weeks. Migrations of existing Docker workloads are planned in stages so there is no big-bang risk. We lock in the exact timeline after the initial review.
What does the engagement look like?
Remote-first, with a weekly demo and transparent status. We deliver the entire infrastructure as version-controlled Terraform and Ansible code, documented and built for handoff. Your team can operate and extend the cluster independently afterward.
Which cloud do you recommend for Kubernetes?
We work multi-cloud across Hetzner, GCP, AWS, and Azure. The right platform comes down to your cost, compliance, and existing setup, not a fixed preference. That keeps you free of vendor lock-in and leaves migration open.
Is EU-sovereign hosting possible?
Yes. We run Kubernetes in a GDPR-compliant way on Hetzner in Germany or in EU regions of GCP and AWS, such as Frankfurt. Your data and workloads stay entirely within the EU.
