Kubernetes platform with an AI assistant — cloud-native, simplified
NIP Platform’s Kubernetes layer is upstream-K8s based and shaped by enterprise platform-team needs: a Helm chart marketplace for shared workloads, a GitOps engine (ArgoCD or Flux), service mesh (Istio / Linkerd), an observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo) and an AI troubleshoot module that infers incident root cause from logs, metrics and events. Multi-cluster federation, autoscaling and RBAC are ready out of the box.
What it does
How people use it
Microservices migration
A 12-year-old monolithic Java app runs on NIP Platform Kubernetes split into 30-40 microservices. GitOps deploys via pull requests, the service mesh protects inner traffic with mTLS, and AI troubleshoot pinpoints the offending service within minutes during early instability — “unknown 500” errors drop by 70%.
Multi-cluster federation
A global SaaS firm runs K8s clusters in four regions (EU, US, APAC, LATAM). NIP Platform federation gives the four clusters a shared policy plane, shared observability and shared GitOps, while workloads stay regionally segmented — one control plane, four clusters.
Internal developer platform (IDP)
A 200-engineer organisation’s platform team builds an internal developer portal. NIP Platform delivers a platform-as-a-service experience via self-service Kubernetes namespaces, the Helm marketplace and GitOps templates — devs get their environment from a YAML, the platform team only enforces policy.
SaaS scaling and autoscale
A B2C SaaS product handles 5× swings in daily traffic. NIP Platform’s karpenter-style node autoscaler scales worker nodes up to peak in minutes and back down on idle — infrastructure cost drops 35-45% versus a fixed-size cluster.
Frequently asked
Managed Kubernetes or DIY — which to choose?
DIY: when you have a 3+ person platform team with K8s experience and need full control for compliance. Managed: with a smaller team or to hand off 24/7 incident response — Nortinia operates and upgrades upstream K8s while your team owns only its workloads.
Does it integrate with EKS / AKS / GKE?
Yes. NIP Platform federation manages shared policy, observability and GitOps with AWS EKS, Azure AKS and Google GKE. A typical hybrid setup runs NIP Platform on-prem with public K8s wired in as burst capacity.
How do we configure cluster autoscale?
The karpenter-style autoscaler derives desired capacity from workload requests and provisions nodes at the bare-metal or hypervisor layer. The scaling policy can be tuned by min/max node count, target pod utilisation and cooldown — the default targets 70% CPU.
What observability stack is included?
The built-in stack is Prometheus (metrics), Grafana (visualisation), Loki (logs) and Tempo (traces) — all upstream open source with a unified UI and RBAC. External SaaS tools (Datadog, New Relic, Honeycomb) plug in if you already have one in place.
