Recommended Team Structure

Kubernetes requires dedicated platform/DevOps expertise. Small startups may not have bandwidth; consider managed platforms like Render or Railway instead.

Timeline: Initial cluster: 2-4 weeks, Migration to K8s: 2-6 months, Platform maturity: 6-12 months
Budget: $30,000-$100,000 for implementation (plus ongoing infrastructure costs)

Success Story: Kubernetes

Series B marketplace with 15 microservices

Challenge

Deployments were painful and unreliable. Services running on different VMs with no standardization. 2-hour deployment cycles.

Solution

Fractional CTO designed Kubernetes architecture on EKS, implemented GitOps with ArgoCD, standardized all services.

Result

Deployment time reduced from 2 hours to 10 minutes. Zero-downtime deployments achieved. Infrastructure costs reduced 30% through better resource utilization.

Timeline: 4 months
