Your app runs on a single server, or a tangle of Docker Compose, or a platform that quietly bills you more every month, and every deploy is a held breath. One bad push and the site is down. Traffic spikes and it falls over. Scaling means manually spinning up another box and praying the load balancer behaves. That is the gap I close. I move your app onto Kubernetes the careful way, so deploys become boring, uptime goes up, and the infrastructure grows with you instead of against you.

What I Build

I take your app from wherever it lives now and put it on a Kubernetes cluster that is built to stay up. That means containerizing the app cleanly, standing up the cluster with proper ingress and automatic TLS, and wiring deploys through CI/CD so shipping is a push, not a ritual. I add health checks and rolling updates so a deploy never takes the site down, monitoring so you can see what is actually happening, and backups so a bad day is recoverable instead of fatal. The part most people skip is the cutover. I do not flip a switch and hope. I stand the new environment up alongside the old one, prove it is healthy under real conditions, and only then move traffic across. If anything looks wrong, the old environment is still right there. That is the difference between a migration that ruins a weekend and one nobody outside the team even notices.

How I Work

I work solo, fast, and I run this exact setup on my own products, so I am not learning Kubernetes on your budget. I start by auditing what you have, the app, the database, the background jobs, the file storage, the integrations, and I tell you plainly which parts are easy and which parts need care. Then I migrate in increments while the old environment keeps serving, so there is never a single terrifying switch. There is no account manager and no handoff between people who have never spoken. You talk to the person doing the work. An agency has to staff up and mark up every hour. I do not carry that overhead, so the same result reaches you faster and cheaper. Most migrations start around $3,000. You can ballpark your own project before we talk.

Proof

I migrated a production app from Docker Compose to K3s Kubernetes with zero downtime, taking backend uptime from 98.3% to near 100%, and I run all of my own products on Kubernetes today. This is what I do at my day job as Lead Developer at CalendHub, where the systems I built serve more than 150 client organizations, and it is how I run my own platforms. Apatero Studio, Tool Index, and Melodex all live on a K3s cluster I set up and maintain. These are running systems with real users and real uptime requirements, not a tutorial I followed once. You can see more of what I have built on my work page.

Common Questions

What does a migration actually cover? I containerize your app, stand up the cluster with ingress, TLS, and CI/CD, wire in monitoring and backups, and cut over with no downtime. You end up with a deploy you can trust. Will my app go down? No. I run the new environment in parallel and only move traffic once it is verified healthy, with the old environment still standing by. How long does it take? It depends on how many moving parts your app has, but because I migrate in increments and keep the old environment running, you are never waiting on one big risky switch. How does pricing work? Most migrations start around $3,000, scoped against your actual stack. I tell you the shape of it up front and we talk before anything grows. How do we start? We get on a short call, you tell me where the app runs and what hurts, and I tell you honestly whether Kubernetes is the right move. Ready to make deploys boring again? Book a call.
