Free consultation More about Kubernetes
Rostock, with its industry focus, is a demanding location when it comes to operating business processes with Kubernetes. We understand the local requirements – compliance topics from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, mid-sized company structures, and established IT landscapes – and deliver reliable implementation from our engineering headquarters in Hamburg.

Kubernetes as a platform – correctly dimensioned and operated. From cluster architecture to GitOps to observability strategy. We make the operation smooth.

For clients in Rostock, this specifically means: initial consultation within 48 hours, transparent effort estimation, regular on-site meetings as needed, and a dedicated engineering partner throughout the entire project duration. No hidden subcontracting, no junior consultant hiding spots.

What we deliver

Kubernetes – for companies in Rostock

Your applications run fault-tolerant, auto-scale, and cost only what they consume — with production-ready Kubernetes clusters we build and operate.

Full service description

In numbers: A production-ready Kubernetes cluster for medium-sized enterprises costs between EUR 1,500 and EUR 8,000 per month (hosting + node costs), with setup expenses ranging from EUR 30,000 to EUR 80,000. Those operating fewer than 5-10 microservices should check beforehand if traditional container solutions (ECS, App Service) might be sufficient.

Further sources: Kubernetes Official Docs for standard concepts, CNCF Landscape for the supplementary tools (GitOps, Observability, Service Mesh).

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Kubernetes in Rostock

Rule of thumb: Kubernetes is worthwhile starting from 5-10 microservices or in case of highly variable loads. For medium-sized companies with a monolith or fewer than 5 services, we often recommend managed container services (AWS ECS, Azure App Service) as a more pragmatic entry point. In Rostock, we see Kubernetes adoption mainly among rapidly growing SaaS and platform companies.

The path typically is: 1) Migrate Docker Compose setups to Helm charts or Kustomize, 2) Validate using a local cluster (Kind, Minikube), 3) Set up a managed cluster (EKS, AKS, GKE) for production, 4) Implement GitOps with ArgoCD or Flux. For mid-sized company migrations, we typically need 6-12 weeks, depending on the number of services and the maturity of the CI/CD pipelines.

For cloud-native setups, we recommend the managed variants of the hyperscalers: AWS EKS, Azure AKS, or Google GKE – minimal operational effort, best integration. For on-prem or edge use cases (in Rostock, for example with industrial/maritime clients), Rancher RKE2 or K3s are suitable. We would avoid self-managed kubeadm clusters without a dedicated K8s engineer.
