Kubernetes case studies
from teams in production.
mogenius is a Kubernetes platform where developers deploy on their own, without being Kubernetes experts, inside guardrails that are set once. Our customers describe what they set out to do, how their environment was built, and what changed once it was running.
Named customers. Measured outcomes.
A venture capital fund that left its hyperscaler in two days. A software company that reached production Kubernetes without a single DevOps hire. Every customer success story here took a different route. Every one of them ended in production on mogenius.
From hyperscaler costs to a sovereign Kubernetes platform
A B2B venture capital fund with a small technical team and nobody dedicated to infrastructure. Costs were growing faster than the team, and the regulated financial sector added a sovereignty requirement on top. The move to a sovereign platform in Germany took two days.
Kubernetes without hiring a platform team
Strong developers, no ops specialists, and a managed container platform that capped performance, control and observability. Kubernetes was the answer, hiring DevOps engineers to maintain it was not. Applications came out roughly ten times faster.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a migration to a managed Kubernetes platform take?
Days rather than weeks, when the preparation is done. What decides the timeline is not cluster size but whether workloads are clearly defined, container images already exist, and the platform takes over cluster lifecycle management instead of handing back a configuration checklist. Where those conditions are missing, the time goes into creating them rather than into the migration itself.
Do we have to hire DevOps engineers?
Not for the platform layer. What makes Kubernetes workable for a small team is where the line runs: your team keeps its workloads, pipelines and monitoring, while cluster lifecycle management and the underlying infrastructure move to the platform or are automated away. Where exactly that line sits is agreed per setup, and it is worth settling at the start rather than halfway through.
Can Kubernetes run on sovereign infrastructure in Germany?
Yes, though for regulated sectors the country alone is not the question. What matters is whether the provider and the operator together supply certification, auditability and data sovereignty, and whether the environment is provisioned as Infrastructure as Code so it can be rebuilt and audited instead of only described in documentation.
Do we have to change our cloud provider?
No. mogenius is a layer on top of Kubernetes clusters, wherever they run: hyperscaler, regional provider, on premises or air gapped. Teams that do change provider usually do it for cost or sovereignty reasons, and the platform layer stays the same either way.
Your situation is probably in here somewhere
Rising costs, an audit on the horizon, or a team that is too small for the infrastructure it inherited. Tell us where you stand and we will walk through what it would take on your own setup.
