Case Study: Haufe Group accelerates releases and cuts hardware costs with CNCF cloud native technology

Haufe Group Paving the way for cloud native for midsize companies

The Haufe Group, a German media and software company, faced challenges with speed, reliability, and scalability in its development and operations. Their legacy infrastructure and outsourced IT model created workflow breaks and a lack of control. To achieve faster release times and adaptable workloads, they turned to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation ecosystem, adopting Docker and Kubernetes.

By implementing a cloud-native strategy with Kubernetes orchestration on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services, provided through the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, the Haufe Group automated its deployment processes and gained the ability to adapt workloads. This resulted in a 30% reduction in hardware costs by scaling down at night and slashed release times from days to just half an hour.
