At Zalando we always strive to provide the best experience for our developers. That's why we came up with the Developer Journey, a comprehensive set of phases in our software development lifecycle. In this context the role of Kubernetes on AWS will be presented in this journey: from fully automated deployments, to compliant by default environments and some developed add-ons. All with the goal to provide a hassle-free application environment that frees up time to developers, so they can focus on the real business use cases of their applications.
