Kubernetes Migration & Autoscaling
Migrated a monolith to containerised, autoscaling Kubernetes with zero downtime.
Overview
Migrated a monolith to containerised, autoscaling Kubernetes with zero downtime. I containerised the app with Docker, moved it onto a managed Kubernetes cluster on AWS with Helm charts, horizontal autoscaling, rolling deploys and health checks — cutting over with zero downtime. Built with Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Helm, this devops & cloud project was delivered for a client in USA and designed for reliability, a clean user experience and long-term maintainability — so it keeps delivering value well after launch.
The challenge
A growing product ran on a single fragile server that fell over under traffic spikes and needed manual, risky deploys.
What I built
I containerised the app with Docker, moved it onto a managed Kubernetes cluster on AWS with Helm charts, horizontal autoscaling, rolling deploys and health checks — cutting over with zero downtime.
How I built it
- Containerised the monolith with Docker and multi-stage builds.
- Deployed to managed Kubernetes on AWS with Helm charts.
- Configured horizontal autoscaling, health checks and rolling deploys.
- Cut over from the old server with zero downtime.
Key features
- Automated CI/CD pipelines
- Containerised, reproducible deployments
- Infrastructure as code
- Autoscaling and load balancing
- Monitoring, logging and alerting
- Backups and disaster recovery
The results
- Handles traffic spikes with autoscaling
- Zero-downtime rolling deploys
- No more single point of failure

Kubernetes Migration & Autoscaling — FAQ
Can you build a kubernetes migration & autoscaling for my business?
Yes. I build custom devops & cloud solutions like this kubernetes migration & autoscaling, using Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Helm and tailored to your exact workflow, timeline and budget. Send me your requirements and I'll reply with a clear plan and quote.
How much does a project like this cost?
It depends on scope. After a short discovery call I provide a clear, fixed quote and milestone plan before any work begins — no surprises. Smaller builds start low; larger platforms are quoted per milestone.
How long does it take to build?
A focused MVP can take a few weeks, while a larger devops & cloud build runs in milestones over a couple of months. You'll see working software early and often, not just at the end.
What technology do you use, and will I own it?
This project uses Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Helm. I pick the right stack for each project, and you own 100% of the code and infrastructure — delivered in your own repositories and accounts.
