Case Study: Zalando achieves greater autonomy and scalability with Kubernetes

Europe’s Leading Online Fashion Platform Gets Radical with Cloud Native

Zalando, Europe’s leading online fashion platform based in Berlin, needed more flexibility and autonomy for its rapidly growing engineering teams than its existing infrastructure could provide. Kubernetes was chosen as the cloud-native platform to help support this shift.

By moving applications to cloud infrastructure and adopting Kubernetes, Zalando gained greater team autonomy, improved scalability, and a more consistent developer experience across teams. Kubernetes also enabled a single, consistent, declarative API for shipping ideas to production and gave Zalando cloud provider-agnostic flexibility for the future.
