Kubernetes Well-Architected Review
Assess and optimize your Kubernetes architecture with a framework that aligns with best practices, enhances security, and mitigates risks for improved reliability and performance.
Make Your Kubernetes Production-Ready
Kubernetes is complex and requires significant expertise to operate in a production-grade environment. As a one-size-fits-all approach can not fulfill the distinct requirements of a system, Successive helps you assess your current Kubernetes architecture against well-architected pillars of security, cost optimization, operational excellence, performance, and reliability.
Running an enterprise-grade fleet of Kubernetes clusters requires embedding dozens of tools and open-source technologies together to achieve critical capabilities such as access management, configuration enforcement & drift management, and Kubernetes security policy management.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to know if Kubernetes is ready for production?
When a kubernetes environment has everything it needs to serve traffic to real end users without human assistance, we consider it “production-ready".
How Kubernetes production-ready environment can be achieved?
A comprehensive assessment or evaluation of various components of kubernetes architecture, such as Scalability, Resource Management, Health Checks, Rollout & Rollback, Monitor & Log, Security, Configuration Management, Graceful Shutdown, and Backup & Disaster Recovery, allows you to identify misconfigurations within your system and remediation of that allows you achieve desired Kubernetes state.
