We design, build and automate stable IT infrastructures based on Kubernetes and support the maintenance and lifecycle management of existing environments. Our services are based on the principles of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). This enables us to provide a stable and secure environment for your application.

The main Kubernetes provider is Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Google developed Kubernetes, a platform for containerized applications, and GKE is the managed service that provides a highly available, high-performance, and cost-effective container hosting environment. In addition, GKE can run in the region of your choice.

For the application to perform on this platform, it must be "cloud ready". We base the design and development of cloud native applications on the 12 Factor App Manifesto. Points such as scalability, robustness, fault tolerance and self-healing are central to this.

Containers are on everyone's lips today and they are essential to bring your application to the cloud. Containerization of the application is a central task and is largely influenced by the software architecture. Security considerations in this process are also extremely important to ensure that the attack vector on your application is as small as possible.

Once the application is packaged in a container, CI/CD can be used to automate the development steps very conveniently. There are no limits to what can be done.

In the cloud and especially on Kubernetes, it is difficult to make the right software architecture decisions as a developer. Everything has to be planned and developed cloud ready / cloud native so that the full potential of the platform can be exploited.

Here, it is recommended to choose the Twelve-Factor App path (https://12factor.net). This method helps immensely in the development of an application for the cloud. Natron also advises and helps developers to migrate their application slowly from legacy to the cloud on the basis of this method.

It is always a question of investment how this migration is done. Sometimes it makes sense to migrate apps that are not yet cloud-ready to Kubernetes and later to outsource individual parts of the application to individual micro-services. Here, the right sensitivity and the correct goal setting are crucial for success. Natron is there to help you with all these issues and support you along the way, because the cloud is no longer the future but reality.
