Container-based application refactoring improving density and resource efficiency
Automated scaling strategies matching resource consumption to actual demand
Cloud-native cost monitoring providing real-time visibility and optimization recommendations

Our cloud-native specialists enable organizations to leverage modern development practices and technologies that accelerate innovation while maintaining enterprise requirements for security and reliability:

Containerization strategies for legacy and modern application portfolios
Kubernetes platform implementation with enterprise-grade security controls
Microservices architecture designs optimized for business flexibility and resilience
CI/CD pipeline implementation automating delivery while enforcing governance
API-first approaches creating scalable integration patterns across environments

"We spent two years developing the technology for Call Simulator as well as the cloud architecture to support it, but we wanted a trusted third-party to verify it would support rapid growth in users without diminishing performance. Shadow-Soft was able to quickly provide not only the verification we needed but also a number of valuable insights we immediately implemented.”
