Unlocking Faster Delivery with Kafka and Kubernetes Expertise
With a wealth of deep expertise in continuous verification and chaos engineering, Verica were looking to make their product richer and bring it to market quicker. The challenge was to devise, design and implement new verifications for inclusion in Verica’s core product.
They were looking for a trusted partner to work within their existing fledgling product development team to use their K8S and Kafka knowledge and skills to create new features for their core product.
Parts of the core platform were re-architected in Golang (from Python), increasing the pace at which individual verifications could be produced.
