Finding the Right Solution
copied
We partnered with Nimbella because of the flexibility of their solution. IMS Evolve is building a traceability platform that will act as a digital twin for the UK food industry and a serverless architecture is ideal for such an application. This will be further extended to other industries like pharmaceuticals, automotive and aerospace. Nimbella’s multi-cloud serverless platform future-protects us to deploy anywhere and have complete control over our deployment enabling ultimate scalability as the ecosystem is adopted globally.

IMS Evolve considered various Serverless solutions but quickly realized that most of FaaS (Function-As-A-Service) Platforms often involves getting locked-in to proprietary technology stacks that add unneeded costs and services over time. It makes it hard to customize and also very difficult to migrate away from that particular cloud. Alternative Kubernetes solutions that IMS Evolve tested were hard to install and bring up and the support model to guide IMS Evolve through troubleshooting issues was nonresponsive. They then engaged Nimbella Serverless that makes serverless development on Kubernetes frictionless and portable.
