Who We Help

Teams transitioning to containers
Development teams seeking to modernize their application deployment by moving from traditional virtual machines to more agile container environments.
Product companies building cloud-native apps
Product companies focused on developing new or transforming existing applications to be inherently scalable and efficient within a cloud-native architecture.
Enterprises embracing DevOps & platform engineering
Large organizations committed to enhancing their development and operations efficiency through advanced DevOps methodologies and establishing robust internal developer platforms.

Key Features

Emerline ensures a smooth and value-driven Kubernetes implementation, which is underpinned by the following advantages.

Cost efficiency with managed control plane

Benefit from a free AKS control plane, meaning you only pay for your worker nodes, significantly reducing operational overhead and overall costs.

Optimized costs for Dev/Test environments

Leverage Spot VM support to drastically reduce development and testing costs, making your non-production environments highly efficient and budget-friendly.

Automatic readiness for any workload

Ensure secure access and identity management through seamless integration with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and OIDC, enhancing your application's security posture.

Streamlined DevOps & automation

Implement a full CI/CD pipeline and achieve GitOps compatibility, enabling continuous delivery, automated deployments, and consistent environments.

Flexible hybrid & multi-cloud deployments

Benefit from built-in observability, advanced scaling, self-healing configurations, and zero-downtime deployment strategies for highly reliable and available applications.

Accelerated team onboarding

Experience simplified onboarding for teams new to Kubernetes, accelerating adoption and reducing the learning curve for your development and operations staff.

End-to-End Kubernetes on Azure Services

We offer comprehensive service offerings, outlining the full lifecycle of an Azure Kubernetes Service project, using clear, benefit-oriented language.

Implementation Framework

Step 1: Discovery & Planning

  • Includes application and architecture review.

Step 2: Design & Architecture

  • Encompasses containerization strategy and image build pipeline.

Step 3: Build & Integration

  • Covers AKS cluster provisioning using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), CI/CD setup, and Ingress configuration.

Step 4: Testing & Rollout

  • Involves monitoring, autoscaling policies, comprehensive documentation, and team onboarding.

Typical Use Cases

Legacy application modernization

Businesses often face challenges with legacy applications running on VMs, limiting agility and efficiency. Migrating these applications to containers via AKS improves their performance, streamlines deployment, and enhances overall operational agility.

Legacy application modernization

Advanced container orchestration

While basic container hosting offers initial benefits, organizations often outgrow its capabilities, needing more advanced control and scalability. Transitioning to full-fledged Kubernetes orchestration through AKS provides the sophisticated management and elastic scaling required for complex modern applications.

Advanced container orchestration

Monolith to microservices

Monolithic applications can become difficult to maintain, scale, and update, hindering innovation. Decomposing these into scalable, independently deployable microservices on AKS enables faster development cycles, improved fault isolation, and enhanced agility.

Monolith to microservices

Internal developer platforms

Large development teams often struggle with inconsistent environments and slow provisioning, impacting productivity. Building robust Internal Developer Platforms on AKS empowers these teams with self-service capabilities and standardized environments, accelerating development velocity and operational efficiency.

Internal developer platforms

Cost-optimized environments

Development and testing environments can incur substantial costs, especially when resources are underutilized. Leveraging AKS features like Spot VMs allows for creating highly efficient and cost-optimized test and staging environments, leading to significant savings without compromising quality.

Cost-optimized environments

High availability & disaster recovery

Ensuring continuous application availability and rapid recovery from failures is paramount for critical workloads. AKS provides built-in capabilities for high availability, self-healing, and multi-zone/region deployments, enabling robust disaster recovery strategies that minimize downtime and protect business continuity.

High availability & disaster recovery

Emerline is an important part of our strategic team!

Emerline has been our technology partner since late 2012. In the early years I thought that would be a short-term gap fill until I could afford to hire my own technical team in the US. But they have consistently met the demands of our growing company and helped us build what we believe is the industry's best solution option. Emerline provides high quality work, so much so that our platform's reliability and accuracy has been mentioned by our largest customer's internal vendor survey repeatedly. The individuals we work with aren't just contractors, they are an important part of our strategic Team and we enjoy working with them every day!

My experience with Emerline has been great

The team was hired to design and develop the Echospectra mobile and web applications, as well as to integrate them with a variety of cloud services. A critical requirement was to rapidly develop the apps in an agile manner, quickly implementing important stakeholder and user feedback as it came along, and fixing any outstanding bugs. The team managed to accommodate this kind of agile, change-driven process successfully. Thanks to their rapid development approach, we've been able to build the initial app versions and then continuously iterate on them to refine our product offering and make sure it meets and exceeds customer expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable partner who delivers on time and on budget.
