How ShareThis uses Kubernetes in production

ShareThis, a service that enhances website engagement through social network sharing, has documented its transition to using Kubernetes in production, highlighting a significant evolution from initial skepticism to achieving substantial operational efficiency. The company now manages 800 million requests per day with aspirations to increase this to 2 billion, a testament to the scalability Kubernetes offers. Within a month, the organization expanded its DevOps capabilities to all engineers, and after four months, it was deploying 40 applications weekly, with only 30% of its apps migrated, yet experiencing remarkable benefits. The blog post by Juan Valencia on kubernetes.io serves as a case study illustrating the tangible business value of adopting a cloud-native architecture, which could inspire other organizations contemplating similar shifts. Furthermore, ShareThis' collaboration with Sysdig Cloud underscores its commitment to leveraging advanced infrastructure solutions.
