Discover frameworks, best practices, and real-world insights to build Kubernetes operators, CRDs, and extend cloud-native capabilities at scale. Kubernetes is the backbone of modern cloud-native infrastructure, but real operational challenges require extending its capabilities. This whitepaper shows how to leverage Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), custom controllers, and operators to tailor Kubernetes to your organization's unique needs. AppsCode engineers are core contributors and maintainers of leading open-source projects that simplify and extend Kubernetes capabilities for global enterprises. Here are a few of the questions we get the most. If you don't see what's on your mind, contact us anytime. Our whitepaper provides a complete roadmap for extending Kubernetes confidence across your organization — from understanding architectural best practices and security hardening to optimizing workloads for scalability, automation, and resilience in production environments. The whitepaper explores Kubernetes orchestration, microservices adoption, CI/CD pipelines, observability, infrastructure as code, and hybrid or multi-cloud deployment models. It’s designed to help teams strengthen operational excellence and build confidence running workloads on Kubernetes. Yes — even experienced teams can benefit. The 'Extending Kubernetes Confidence With Our Whitepaper' highlights advanced techniques for optimizing security, resource efficiency, and reliability, helping you identify areas for improvement in existing Kubernetes setups. It begins with foundational Kubernetes concepts, followed by practical migration strategies, automation workflows, and observability best practices. The goal is to help engineering and DevOps teams make informed decisions and build more confident Kubernetes operations. Absolutely. It explains how to design and manage workloads across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises clusters. You’ll learn about cross-cloud portability, scaling techniques, and ensuring consistent governance across multiple Kubernetes environments. Security and reliability are key themes. The whitepaper discusses container isolation, role-based access control (RBAC), secrets management, and automated recovery patterns. It helps teams confidently run production-grade Kubernetes clusters with built-in security and resilience. This whitepaper is ideal for DevOps engineers, SREs, architects, and decision-makers looking to improve Kubernetes operations, scale efficiently, and adopt cloud-native best practices with confidence. You can download it directly from our website. The whitepaper is available for free and provides valuable insights into extending Kubernetes confidence through architecture design, automation, and scalable DevOps practices.Extend Kubernetes with Confidence Using Our Comprehensive Whitepaper

InterSystems was delighted to engage with AppsCode in the delicate, yet fundamental task of supporting durable, non-ephemeral workloads with Kubernetes. We needed the best-prepared, most-proficient database operator consulting in the industry. Given AppsCode's pedigree of database building operators, the decision was easy. No time was wasted and all objectives reached in an amazingly short period of time. I would recommend AppsCode consulting for any Kubernetes related work.
Voyager made it simple and efficient for us to protect and initiate our bare metal Kubernetes workload. Its underlying technology and extensive L4 support along with seamless SSL integration is what made us choose Voyager over others. Voyager team is also very responsive when it comes to support. Great product!
Voyager is the easiest way to use the fast and reliable HAProxy as our ingress controller. At PriceHubble, it is the corner-stone of our blue/green deployments.
I work with a few Kubernetes clusters and we use Voyager as our preferred ingress controller. We really like the ease of configuration. Documentation is pretty good. Also the use of HaProxy is important for us because it works really well with both L4 and L7 load balancing. One of our TCP services, Wayk Now, is able to withstand thousands of persistent connections very smoothly at the same time.
We really like using Voyager. Its straightforward and well-documented config and SSL (especially Let's Encrypt) has made our migration of services to Kubernetes a breeze. Each major version has been a very welcome update!
We're using Voyager as part of most Astarte deployments and it's orchestrated also by our brand new Operator. We are glad to showcase that.
