Common Kubernetes Problems

Challenges we help teams solve

Cluster Upgrades Are Risky

Kubernetes version upgrades require careful planning, testing and rollback procedures to avoid production disruptions.

No 24/7 Operations Coverage

Production incidents happen outside business hours. Without 24/7 coverage, downtime extends until the team is available.

Resource Management Is Complex

Setting resource requests, limits and autoscaling policies requires deep Kubernetes expertise to balance performance and cost.

Security Vulnerabilities

Kubernetes security requires continuous monitoring, patching and compliance management across clusters and workloads.

Monitoring and Observability Gaps

Effective Kubernetes monitoring requires specialized tools, dashboards and alerting to detect issues before they impact users.

Team Lacks Kubernetes Expertise

Kubernetes expertise is expensive and difficult to hire. Many teams lack the specialized knowledge needed for production operations.

Kubernetes Costs Continue Increasing

Clusters grow quickly but resource utilization often remains low, resulting in unnecessary cloud spend and wasted infrastructure capacity.

Why Teams Outsource Kubernetes Operations

StackExpress provides operational ownership of Kubernetes environments, allowing engineering teams to focus on product development while we handle monitoring, upgrades, incident response and ongoing operations. Learn more about our DevOps services, cloud management, and Terraform consulting.

24/7 Coverage

Around-the-clock monitoring and incident response without hiring night shifts.

Deep Expertise

Access to Kubernetes specialists without expensive hiring and training.

Cost Efficiency

Predictable monthly costs instead of full-time salaries and benefits.

Focus on Product

Engineering teams focus on building features instead of managing infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Kubernetes platforms do you support?

We support all major Kubernetes platforms including AWS EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, and self-managed Kubernetes clusters on any cloud provider or on-premises infrastructure.

Do you provide 24/7 support?

Yes. All managed Kubernetes engagements include 24/7 monitoring and incident response. Our operations team monitors clusters around the clock and responds to incidents immediately.

How do cluster upgrades work?

We plan and execute Kubernetes version upgrades during scheduled maintenance windows. This includes testing in non-production environments, creating rollback procedures, and monitoring the upgrade process to minimize risk.

What monitoring tools do you use?

We use industry-standard tools including Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and PagerDuty. We can also integrate with your existing monitoring infrastructure if preferred.

How quickly can you start managing our cluster?

Onboarding typically takes 1-2 weeks. This includes access setup, monitoring configuration, runbook documentation, and knowledge transfer from your team.

What if we need help with application deployments?

We provide deployment support including Helm chart creation, manifest optimization, deployment strategies (blue/green, canary), and CI/CD pipeline integration.

Do you support Amazon EKS environments?

Yes. We support Amazon EKS, including cluster operations, upgrades, monitoring, autoscaling, incident response and production support.

Can you support autoscaling platforms such as KEDA and Karpenter?

Yes. We have experience operating Kubernetes environments that use modern autoscaling technologies including KEDA and Karpenter.

Why don't you publish all Kubernetes customers?

Many Kubernetes environments are managed under NDA agreements because they support production applications and business-critical infrastructure. We respect customer confidentiality and only publish testimonials with explicit permission.
