KUBE-X: 60% faster, 70% cheaper!

How was KUBE-X designed to improve software development?

KUBE-X was developed to standardise and accelerate numerous aspects of business software development, thereby making it more cost-efficient. The guiding principle behind KUBE-X is: “Customise where it adds value for the customer!” This means that the platform allows modular customisation in order to meet the specific requirements of individual customers.

What specific advantages does KUBE-X offer?

Using KUBE-X can reduce the lead time of a development project by up to 60% compared to a fully customised approach. This leads to considerable savings in development costs. The standardised components and processes enable accelerated development, as less time is spent on recreating solutions that have already been tested.

How does KUBE-X ensure security in the development of business software?

KUBE-X was developed from the outset with a focus on a reliable security structure. There is a finely encapsulated access scheme with a consistent focus on the least privilege principle. In addition, best practices for software security are followed and continuous checks and updates for security vulnerabilities are carried out.

How are security vulnerabilities handled?

All KUBE-X components are continuously tested by soxes. Newly discovered security vulnerabilities are proactively closed and made available to users. In addition, solutions are tested for security as standard.

Thanks to the consistent use of short-lived environments, a highly automated recovery of the productive system after a malfunction is possible at any time within a few hours.

To what extent does KUBE-X optimise the operation of solutions through the use of standardised infrastructure and what impact does this have on overall costs?

The use of standardised infrastructure and optimised technologies such as Kubernetes enables KUBE-X to reduce hosting costs by up to 70% compared to other hosting options such as Azure App Services. This helps to reduce operating costs and offer customers a more cost-effective solution.

Thanks to the high degree of standardisation in the components and libraries used, soxes can implement any updates with significantly lower costs for analysis, implementation and testing.

How does KUBE-X support the development process and which frameworks are used to ensure a smooth process?

KUBE-X consistently relies on the GitOps philosophy, uses standard frameworks such as ABP.io and offers automated development pipelines and infrastructure-as-code libraries. This enables almost complete automation of the development process and simplifies the creation of solution copies without manual effort, which significantly improves the efficiency of the development team.

In addition, KUBE-X already provides numerous services, known as KUBES, from the platform, which only need to be configured for the use case and slightly customised if necessary. In the most important step, the developers can concentrate on the customer’s individual wishes and components that set the application apart from the others.
