Abstract

We develop systems to digitize the sheet metal industry with the belief that they should cooperate with each other in an open way. We are convinced that the future lies in creating a software ecosystem that interconnects all levels of the company and even manages to communicate with supplier and customer systems, making for more agile management throughout the entire value chain.

One of our newer projects is providing a multi-tenant cloud service to our clients. The chosen database for the service we are developing is MongoDB. After testing with docker containers on virtual machines, we decided to finally host the service in Kubernetes because we wanted something to be able to scale at large for our clients being a service that will be consumed by a multitude of our clients, so to the database in order to reduce latency.
