Codefresh, a docker-native CI/CD platform, transitioned to Kubernetes to enhance scalability, stability, and networking, driven by their extensive use of Google Cloud services and the need for a cloud-agnostic approach that supports AWS and Google. Kubernetes was chosen for its powerful scalability features, standard deployment mechanisms, and ability to facilitate zero downtime, auto-scaling, and health checks, addressing previous deployment challenges encountered with Chef and Ansible. Codefresh sought to empower developers beyond the DevOps team by providing an API-based approach to scaling and monitoring microservices, utilizing Kubernetes' dashboard for ease of use. The shift allowed for improved deployment history tracking, quick environment recreation, and on-demand environment creation, enhancing integration testing and feedback loops. By restructuring their deployment architecture and configuration management using Kubernetes' secrets and ConfigMaps, Codefresh achieved a more streamlined and automated process, replacing complex solutions with standardized and stable ones. The result was a significant improvement in controlling their production environment predictably and creating fully automated Codefresh environments swiftly, leading to more efficient testing and deployment workflows.
