Orchestrated Container Architecture with Kubernetes

Jan 13, 2025

Usage Engine Private Edition has been designed with Kubernetes based container deployment as the primary deployment environment. A lot of effort is put into making the application take advantage of powerful Kubernetes features such as: 

  • Self-healing and monitoring 

  • Auto scaling 

  • Networking and hooking into cloud environment load balancers 

  • Management of packages, certificates, persistence, and other resources 

  • Automatic zero downtime upgrades 

  • Location transparency and DNS based service discovery 

  • Optional interaction into powerful tools like: 

    • Istio for service mesh architecture with traffic control and visualization using Kiali 

    • Prometheus for automatic metrics-based monitoring and visualization using Grafana 

    • Fluentd, Elasticsearch and Kibana for log collection and visualization 

    • cert-manager for automatic certificate management 
       

By using the Operator pattern to seamlessly integrate application specific functionality with Kubernetes orchestration functionality and extending that to modern Web UIs, we enable a smooth journey from business logic design into production ready deployment.
