Containers & Developers

You are not locked in. The cluster is standard, upstream-compatible Kubernetes, so your manifests and Helm charts run unchanged on any other Kubernetes, and you can pull your images from the private registry whenever you like.

That is exactly the situation the pipeline was built for. Your developer pushes and the application appears in test, with no need to touch the cluster or write a manifest or Dockerfile.

The engines run on open-source operators, with no licence dependency in between. Because they are standard PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB, your data can be exported with each engine's own tools.

Your entire account data can be exported as a single archive, and the account is closed from the console or the CLI. Database backups download in standard formats, so they restore in other environments too.

By default the control plane runs on three control-plane nodes; if one is lost, the other two keep quorum and the API keeps answering. Broken workers are replaced rather than mended, and pods restart on healthy nodes.

The previous version comes back with both its image and its configuration. The rollback counts as complete only once production is seen responding again, and nobody has to step in by hand.
