How we build and run the platform
Badger Cloud is operated by Kedos Consulting using the same cloud-native practices we apply to enterprise commerce work. These notes cover the approaches behind the platform — the interesting parts, anyway.
Running Production k3s on ARM with GitOps
Why we chose lightweight Kubernetes on ARM, how Flux keeps the cluster in sync with Git, and the gotchas of an IPv6-only worker fleet.
Read the note →Shipping Zero-Downtime Deployments
Rolling updates, health gating, automated image updates, and instant rollback — how customer storefronts stay up while we ship.
Read the note →Observability on a Budget
Metrics, logs, and alerting with Victoria Metrics, Grafana, and Loki — full visibility on a small, efficient footprint.
Read the note →Sustainable by Design: ARM & Renewable Power
The efficiency case for going ARM-only on renewable-powered data centres — with verifiable figures from Hetzner, AWS, and Ampere.
Read the note →Why share any of this?
Good infrastructure is mostly good decisions, repeated. Writing them down keeps us honest and gives the wider community something concrete to compare against. If these approaches are useful to your own platform — or you'd like the team that built this to help with yours — Kedos Consulting does exactly this kind of work, and Badger Commerce is the product it powers.
