Case Study: Slamtec achieves 100% stability and faster delivery with CNCF cloud native projects

Slamtec chose cloud native to sustain velocity in the fast-moving robotics space

Slamtec, a provider of service robot autonomous localization and navigation solutions, faced the challenge of sustaining its rapid development velocity. With a legacy infrastructure based on Alibaba Cloud and VMware vSphere, the company needed to build a stable, reliable, and modern container cloud platform to host its IoT applications while ensuring high availability, scalability, and seamless CI/CD support.

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) provided the solution through its ecosystem of open source projects. Slamtec adopted Kubernetes for orchestration, Prometheus for monitoring, Fluentd for logging, Harbor as a registry, and Helm as a package manager. The measurable impacts for Slamtec included 18+ months of 100% stability, zero service downtime, a 50% reduction in microservice configuration efforts, a 50% time savings on troubleshooting, and a 30% savings in CI/CD efforts due to Harbor's replication functionality.
