Kubernetes at IRPR.io is production-grade container orchestration for teams that need it — and an honest 'no' for teams that don't. K8s is powerful, but it's also expensive to operate. We help you choose correctly, and when you need it, we ship it right.
Your pipeline, always green.
Kubernetes · how we actually work.
Our Kubernetes engagements cover greenfield cluster builds on GKE / EKS / AKS, migration from simpler platforms (Heroku, Fly, ECS) when you've outgrown them, and stabilization / cost-reduction for clusters that grew without planning.
Every cluster ships with GitOps deployment (Argo CD), observability (OpenTelemetry + Datadog or Grafana), secrets management (Vault or cloud-native KMS), and runbooks your on-call team can actually follow.
Infrastructure you don't have to think about.
First question: do you actually need K8s?
Kubernetes is powerful but expensive to run. Under 20 services and no hard scheduling requirements? ECS, Cloud Run, Fly, or Render is usually the right answer. We'll tell you so in the discovery phase — not every team needs K8s, and we don't sell it unnecessarily.
What a production K8s cluster includes.
The full package. Not a cluster + hope.
Ships with every cluster.
- GKE / EKS / AKS managed control plane
- Argo CD or Flux GitOps
- OpenTelemetry instrumentation
- Cert-Manager + Ingress
- External Secrets operator
- HPA + VPA autoscaling
- Network policies + Pod Security Standards
- Backup + DR procedure
- Cost attribution tooling
- Runbooks for on-call
What we ship in this practice.
Greenfield K8s platform
GKE / EKS / AKS cluster built with opinionated defaults, GitOps, observability, and docs. Ready for product engineers on day one.
ECS → K8s migration
Outgrown ECS? We migrate to K8s with minimal downtime and training for your team.
Cluster stabilization
Existing cluster held together with duct tape? We audit, refactor, document, and train your team to own it.
Multi-region / multi-cluster
Active-active or DR-ready multi-region K8s. Typical use: regulated or latency-sensitive workloads.
Idea → Roadmap → Product → Release.
Every engagement runs through the same four-stage pipeline. Predictable by design.
Tools we trust.
