Riverline
Riverline Migrated 400 Services to Kubernetes With Zero Downtime.
The problem
Riverline already had a live product and a metric that had stopped moving. The brief was specific: Riverline Migrated 400 Services to Kubernetes With Zero Downtime. We started from that constraint, not a deck of adjacent ideas.
What we built
A senior squad sat on Riverline only — shared Slack, staging from week one, Friday demos. In the developer tools work we put the platform in front of the people who suffer it. CI, cost, and observability work only counts if a team will use it on a Tuesday.
The result
The engagement landed at 400 services migrated and 0 customer incidents. Same people through launch. Most of these relationships continue as a dedicated team rather than a clean break.
