The problem

Legacy applications run on VMs, on-premise infrastructure or outdated platforms. Migrating to containers is complex and risky. Big-bang migrations often fail. Setting up Kubernetes yourself is another project entirely.

Traditional migration With Proxy Platform
Big-bang migration = high risk
Incremental: old and new systems in parallel
First set up and learn Kubernetes cluster
Managed Kubernetes: infrastructure is ready
Vendor lock-in with big cloud providers
EU first: Hetzner (DE) or BIT (NL). No vendor lock-in
No containerization expertise
Managed service team with migration expertise
Difficult to safely test migration
Fast test environments for safe testing

Managed service team

Legacy migration is complex. Our managed service team has proven experience migrating legacy applications to containers. From assessment to go-live.

Assessment & strategy

We analyze your legacy stack and create a migration plan.

Containerization expertise

From VM to Docker container. We help with Dockerfile, dependencies, configuration.

Guidance to go-live

We guide your team through the entire migration. All the way to production.

What we do

  • ✓ Analyze existing infrastructure
  • ✓ Create containerization strategy
  • ✓ Migration plan: incremental or big-bang
  • ✓ Hands-on help with containerization
  • ✓ Set up test environments
  • ✓ Guidance to production go-live

From VMs to containers, without having to become a Kubernetes expert.

Why managed Kubernetes?

With traditional migration, you first have to set up and learn Kubernetes. That's a whole project in itself.

With Proxy Platform, the Kubernetes infrastructure is already ready. Managed, secure, and production-ready. You focus on your application.

pbd env create production

Kubernetes cluster ready in minutes. Security, SSL, network: automatically configured.

No Kubernetes expertise needed

Legacy migration is complex enough already. You don't need to become a Kubernetes expert too. We handle the infrastructure.

Managed Kubernetes

Cluster setup, security patches, monitoring: fully managed.

Production-ready from day 1

SSL, load balancing, backups, monitoring: out of the box.

Native Kubernetes API

Use kubectl, Helm and all standard tooling. No vendor lock-in.

EU hosting with flexibility

Migrate from on-premise to cloud. Choose between Hetzner (Germany) or BIT (Netherlands). Both EU-based. No vendor lock-in.

Hetzner: Germany

German hosting in Falkenstein & Nuremberg. EU data residency guaranteed.

BIT: high standard & privacy

Dutch hosting with highest security standards and privacy focus.

No vendor lock-in

Switch providers whenever you want. AWS, Azure and Google Cloud coming in the future.

Test migration without risk

Don't migrate blindly to production. Create dedicated test environments. Test your containerized app. Fix issues. Then move to production.

Dedicated test environments

Create test environment in minutes. Test your migration safely.

Old and new systems in parallel

Run legacy VM and new container side by side. Incremental migration.

Production parity

Test environment = production environment. No surprises.
