What are Hyperscalers?
Hyperscalers are the giants in cloud hosting, like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. They offer solutions with data storage outside of Sweden. With Askås Hosting at Glesys, we maintain control and data sovereignty without compromising on security, performance, or flexibility.
Kubernetes Technology
Kubernetes is the “master” of our infrastructure. It is a system that automatically manages our containers – restarting services that stop responding, allocating resources, and increasing capacity when traffic rises. With Kubernetes, we can offer an automated and scalable environment.
Dynamic Scalability When Needed
One of the strengths of containers is the ability to scale up and down dynamically. When traffic increases, more instances can be started, providing high performance regardless of traffic levels.
Containers
All technology runs in containers responsible for a specific part of the system. Each container contains what is needed for its purpose and is isolated from other parts. This makes operations fast, stable, and easy to update.
Askås API
Divided into several containers. The order flow, customer data, product information, and other API parts are located separately, allowing for individual management and scaling.
Askås Storefront
The frontend runs in its own container and can be updated or scaled without affecting other parts of the system.
