Kubernetes experience is difficult to come by and hiring DevOps engineers to manage clusters can be time-consuming and expensive. Data analysts and software engineers need tooling to bridge this experience gap and take on DevOps challenges.
The team at Cayena needed a way to quickly and consistently deploy open-source applications like Airbyte into production environments. To Cayena, the most important thing is to deliver fast and powerful applications onto Kubernetes without being specialists in it.
Before using Plural, Cayena came really close to hiring a Kubernetes specialist to handle the deployment and monitoring of applications on Kubernetes. While the opportunity didn’t work out, Cayena’s data applications are operating fine thanks to Plural, which Oriel compared to having a DevOps specialist on board.
