Integrated / Development Platform

An Integrated Development Platform provides developers self-service capabilities to spin-up ephemeral environments, effect business logic, deploy and promote applications with ease; with the goal to abstract away the developer from underlying complexity of infrastructure, compute and deployment automation; allowing them to focus on what they do best - write great software.

Agumbe™ Application

Any application that subscribes to the Agumbe™ Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions.

Agumbe is a pioneering technology in the Kubernetes landscape, offering developers and organizations a more straightforward and efficient method to manage their Kubernetes resources. By defining and utilizing Agumbe's custom resource definitions (CRDs), teams can dramatically simplify the complexity typically associated with deploying and managing applications in a Kubernetes environment. The significance of Agumbe in the Kubernetes ecosystem cannot be understated; it enables a more accessible, developer-friendly approach to cloud-native development and operations, heralding a new era of application lifecycle management.

Agumbe™ Cloud further amplifies this by providing an integrated solution for managing web application, machine learning and data science projects. It streamlines the process from experimentation to production, offering a centralized platform that supports the end-to-end lifecycle of ML and data science initiatives. This directly addresses the challenges organizations face in operationalizing machine learning models and provides a cohesive toolset for managing these processes more effectively.

In essence, Agumbe Development Platform and Agumbe Cloud together offer an advanced, intuitive suite of tools that enhance the Kubernetes ecosystem for application developers and data scientists alike, promoting efficient project experiences.

Significance of Agumbe™ in the Kubernetes ecosystem

Agumbe, with its unique approach to Kubernetes through the use of specific custom resource definitions (CRDs), presents an innovative layer in the Kubernetes ecosystem, allowing for the streamlined development and management of applications. By adopting Agumbe CRDs, developers can harness Kubernetes' power more intuitively, making the creation, deployment, and scaling of applications more accessible and efficient. This integration is particularly beneficial in environments that prioritize rapid development cycles and the need for scalable, robust applications. Agumbe's contributions extend Kubernetes' capabilities, facilitating a more developer-friendly platform that aligns with the demands of modern software development.

Agumbe™ Cloud

Agumbe™ Cloud is a web application, machine learning and data science project central - managing the full lifecycle of web application builds, their Machine Learning projects and Data Science pipelines via a single friendly interface - from experimentation, model fine-tuning and serving for development and production workloads.

Agumbe™ Development Platform

Agumbe™ Development Platform is a microservices application development platform committed to progressive delivery for Kubernetes; with GitOps, ArgoCD and a suite of complementing tools.

Key features include:

• Ephemeral environments.

• Application lifecycle / promotion orchestration.

• Feature Flagging.

• Single Click Preview and Sandbox creation.

• Concise with verbose option for developers who want to explore further.
