Containers & Kubernetes
Orchestrating workloads that self-heal, scale, and recover on their own.
Kubernetes and container orchestration are tools for building systems that recover without a page going off first — self-healing, autoscaling workloads that treat failure as routine, not exceptional. Getting there takes more than a working Helm chart; it takes resource limits, health checks, and rollout strategies that reflect how the workload actually behaves under load.
This is the layer that turns "it runs in a container" into "it stays running," across Docker and Kubernetes at scale, with immutable builds and infrastructure-as-code as the backbone.
What this looks like in practice
- •Kubernetes orchestration patterns built for self-healing and autoscaling, not just scheduling
- •Docker and container runtime engineering with production failure modes in mind
- •Immutable builds and infrastructure-as-code as the standard, not the exception
- •Rollout strategies (canary, blue-green) matched to what the workload can actually tolerate
