Why do I need an application platform?

Because “cloud native” goes beyond just Kubernetes.
While Kubernetes offers unparalleled flexibility for managing cloud and multi-cloud strategies, effective cloud-native operations extend far beyond container orchestration.
Modern software-driven businesses need their workloads to address:
Security
Resilience
Backup
Cost Monitoring
Observability
Compliance
Leading software development organizations are embracing Platform Engineering and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs).
These platform approaches integrate essential tools that not only accelerate development, testing, and deployment but also streamline onboarding and facilitate controlled collaboration across teams.
This integration spares your devops and dev teams from spending months on DIY deployment—and then having to spend time on maintenance later.
IDP offers pre-build solutions for:
CI/CD
Code Quality Checks
AI/MLOps capabilities
DevSecOps
Auto-Updated Documentation
Access Controls
Developers On/Off-Boarding

Use Cases

A critical foundation for new application development, migrations, and cloud app modernization initiatives.

Applications Development & Delivery

In software development, speed must be balanced with security, scalability, and maintainability. IDPs shorten time to market for new features by providing serf-serve capabilities to developers and enabling the “you build it you run it” paradigm.

This environment greatly reduces the friction between development and operations, which requires abstracting away the complexity of modern cloud infrastructure and streamlining delivery processes and integrating them with DevSecOps practices and continuous quality checks. This enables developers to focus on innovation while ensuring applications are robust, secure, and scalable, accelerating efficient software delivery.

for service mesh management, GitOps practices paired with

and

simplified microservice deployment, and

Prometheus Monitoring

,

Grafana

, and

for monitoring and log management.

These tools, combined within CGDevX, streamline the management and scaling of microservices, enabling independent scaling, minimal disruption during updates, and maintaining high operational stability across distributed systems.

High-load Environments

High-load environments require scalable infrastructure to handle traffic spikes without performance loss. CGDevX solves this by integrating open-source tools like

for orchestration,

for cluster level scaling,

for event-driven autoscaling,

Prometheus Monitoring

 for real-time monitoring,

and

for efficient load balancing.

These tools ensure dynamic scalability, keeping applications responsive and reliable during peak traffic, which is essential for maintaining a seamless user experience.

Collaboration between Developers and Operators

In CGDevX, developers focus on specifying the applications and their dependencies without needing to manage the underlying infrastructure. Operators, on the other hand, set up environments by configuring the platform, infrastructure, and policies that align with organizational standards. CGDevX brings these roles together, creating deployments that satisfy both developer requirements and operator standards.

CGDevX — Streamlined Infrastructure with Templates

Streamlined Infrastructure with Templates

With CGDevX, developers are relieved from needing to master infrastructure details. Platform operators can create infrastructure-as-code templates, ensuring that the infrastructure adheres to organizational standards for cost, operations, and security. This allows developers to concentrate solely on meeting application requirements, while the underlying infrastructure is managed through these predefined templates.

Freedom from Cloud Lock-In

Organizations want tools that offer flexibility and avoid being tied to a single cloud provider. CGDevX is designed to be open-source and cloud-agnostic from the outset. It enables deployment across various public clouds—while providing a unified, consistent experience.

Frequently asked questions

Check the most frequent questions that CGDevX users ask
Is CGDevX Kubernetes Application Delivery Platform really free ?
Yes, we developed CgDevX to help streamline new client projects, ensuring a consistent approach to application migration to Kubernetes and building new apps with cloud native and Kubernetes tools. It enables our development team to use a unified Platform Engineering approach and easily onboard new developers. We continue to support CgDevX by integrating new open-source tools encountered in numerous client projects and maintaining up-to-date documentation, so other developers and companies can use it for their internal projects. CgDevX is built on popular and stable CNCF open-source projects like ArgoCD, Backstage, and Grafana, and you can use it anywhere, just as you would be getting those project from github and integrating yourself.
I already have a development pipeline and want to upgrade it to Kubernetes, but I’d like to keep some of the tools my developers are already familiar with. Can I use GitLab vs GitHub or Jenkins vs ArgoCD?
CGDevX architecture is modular, and we already have integrations with many interchangeable tools that we've prepared for existing clients. If you want to continue using other open-source products, we can consult you on integration or handle the integration for you
Can I integrate some commercial tools with the platform? Like PANW or Aqua DevSecOps modules or DataDog monitoring ?
Absolutely, it follows the same modular approach. You can easily integrate the tools yourself, or we can handle the integration for you. Some of the tools on our partner technology page have already been integrated, and we can help you evaluate the selection of tools you need based on your business case and budget.
How do you achieve multi-cloud support? Can I really move my workloads between AWS, Azure, and other cloud services?
We integrate and test all CGDevX components on managed Kubernetes services like EKS, AKS, and GKE, as well as on DIY Kubernetes engines. So, if you have CGDevX deployed across all your cloud providers, you can seamlessly deploy your containers to any cloud using the same CGDevX developer platform.
Is CGDevX is Kubernetes hosting platform like ControlPlane?
No, CGDevX is deployed to your own AWS/Azure/GCP and other cloud providers accounts, and you have a full control of your code and data. But, your development team will have the same experience shipping containers to your production environment as they would have with PaaS solutions like ControlPlane and others.
