On-Demand expertise for containerization platforms
Developing and maintaining a cloud-native platform mostly requires a large and experienced team, while application transformation adds extra challenges, such as operational shifts to code management, QA and testing process flows, and application operational release management. Achieving greater speed of innovation, improving developer productivity, and, application scalability, availability, and portability requires a successful containerization technology.
