Case Study: Haufe Group accelerates cloud-native releases with Kubernetes

Paving the Way for Cloud Native for Midsize Companies

Haufe Group, a media and software company based in Freiburg, Germany, wanted to move beyond using containers only for development and test and begin running them reliably in production. The challenge was making the shift to cloud-native operations without the manual, checklist-heavy release process that previously required at least a week of advance planning. Kubernetes was the vendor helping Haufe Group address this transition.

Kubernetes provided the platform Haufe Group needed to run containers in production and automate its release workflow as part of a cloud-native, microservices-based approach. With Kubernetes, Haufe Group reduced release time from days to about 30 minutes, enabling faster deployments and greater operational efficiency. Kubernetes helped the company build the foundation for quicker innovation and lower operational costs.
