Investing in PerfectScale and the Transformation of Kubernetes Optimization

By Ilia Shnaidman, vice president, Blumberg Capital

Today, we are excited to announce our investment in PerfectScale and its mission to make it easy for DevOps, platform engineering, and SRE professionals to improve the stability and cost-effectiveness of their complete Kubernetes (K8s) environment. Kubernetes has evolved to become the linchpin of modern cloud-native applications with market size anticipated to reach $7.8B by 2027. The rapid adoption of Kubernetes has revealed challenges in managing and scaling these intricate containerized environments and we believe PerfectScale will lead the way in providing easy-to-use solutions that empower teams to make quick, data-driven decisions.

Why invest in PerfectScale? Team, technology and early customer traction. 

A Bright Future for Kubernetes

The demand for scalable, efficient, and optimized Kubernetes infrastructure is on the rise, as Kubernetes continues to solidify its position as the standard for container orchestration and cloud-native application development. The majority of cloud workloads are now running on Kubernetes and deployments of cloud-native infrastructure will continue to accelerate. However, the rapid pace of adoption is impeding organization’s ability to support the complexity and management of resources that come with large-scale, cloud-native infrastructure. Success relies on mastering Day 2 Kubernetes operations, where optimizing costs and performance emerges as a pivotal focus. 

Early Customer Adoption and Success

PerfectScale’s early customer adoption and scalability underscores the transformative potential of their platform and pressing need for innovative Kubernetes infrastructure solutions. Its platform seamlessly adapts to the unique demands of Kubernetes clusters, enabling organizations to scale, operate efficiently, and ensure reliability without compromising performance or incurring excessive costs.

“We went from multiple issues a day, to maybe one or two issues in the last month,” said Ben Hoffman, R&D Director of Solidus Labs. “With PerfectScale, we have seen over a 90% reduction, helping us ensure our applications have the capacity to meet our customer demand.”

Efficiency and Cost Savings

Managing Kubernetes clusters can be intricate and resource-intensive. PerfectScale’s platform optimizes resource allocation, streamlines Kubernetes operations, and ultimately leads to cost savings. This efficiency is a game-changer for organizations embracing Kubernetes, enabling them to allocate resources more effectively and achieve better ROI on their Kubernetes initiatives.
