About the Company

Kaiko Systems GmbH - Specialists in digitizing onboard operations in the maritime industry

Our company, based in Berlin with employees across 8 countries, focuses on digitizing onboard operations, proactively managing off-hire periods, and increasing productivity. We faced high costs and complex cloud solutions before discovering Scaleway, which offers simple tools, predictable pricing, and peace of mind regarding data privacy.

Solution

Our production environment includes 8 Compute instances for reliability and load balancing, a high-availability PostgreSQL database, a Redis instance, and S3-compatible Object Storage. The infrastructure allows us to meet our clients' needs while ensuring the security and efficiency of our operations. Thanks to Scaleway's APIs, our engineering team can create production-like staging environments to test new features with a single click.

Results

Since adopting Scaleway's solutions, we have doubled the size of our engineering team, which can now deliver without bottlenecks and without a DevOps engineer, thanks to the level of automation we have achieved. We have not encountered scalability issues as our infrastructure is over-provisioned to anticipate future growth. With Scaleway, we have improved our team's experience and ensured the stability and security of our services.

Future Plans

We plan to deploy AI inference services using Scaleway's managed services or GPU instances. We are also looking into IPFS pinning for file synchronization with vessels at sea, with IPFS being the perfect tool for this.
