How CCSolutions.io Optimized Their Kubernetes Operations With Syself

Introduction

CCSolutions.io is a Germany-based, globally distributed tech agency specializing in cloud services, DevOps, infrastructure management, as well as web and mobile application development. Since its foundation in 2020, they have grown to manage over 50 Kubernetes clusters, serving clients across Europe and Latin America.

The Challenge

CCSolutions.io's main business is DevOps and Kubernetes. Therefore, they aim for the optimal tooling and processes to avoid errors, manual work, and to deliver a better experience to their clients.

Initially, they chose a Terraform-based approach to spin up and manage cloud environments. They were fine with this, even though it was not optimal, because there was no way they could have gotten a significantly better solution without investing a lot of money or time.

The Solution

Such a solution came to them by chance: one of their clients, Hesse.ai, asked them to help with migrating to Syself.

Unlike other Kubernetes offerings, which often required extensive adjustments, Syself worked on the first try. CCSolutions.io found the first platform they were truly impressed with!

It was a big aha moment, as normally when you work with tech, it's not working on the first try.

CTO at CCSolutions

Impressed by the ease of use and the quality of the documentation, CCSolutions.io decided to migrate parts of their own infrastructure. Now, Syself is at the core of their operations - hosting a centralized monitoring stack.

Results

The processes to manage Kubernetes clusters with Syself are significantly easier compared to other alternatives. For example, according to CCSolutions.io, working with Syself is much better than Rancher.

They were impressed by the reliability of the system. Thanks to Syself Autopilot, CCSolutions.io has managed to reduce their operational overhead and deliver better solutions to their clients - making Syself an ideal choice for any tech agency!
