Shipa's cloud native application management framework allows organizations to successfully run mission-critical applications on Kubernetes in days instead of years. The lightweight framework eliminates the need for platform teams to develop custom scripts or to manage a lengthy migration while still giving them centralized control over configurations to reduce the risk of misconfigurations. From the developer perspective, Shipa provides an application-centric way to develop, deploy and manage cloud native applications without requiring any Kubernetes expertise. This helps developers ramp up faster and improves long-term development speed, since they never have to manage infrastructure components.
