Problem
Managing cloud-native applications across diverse infrastructures introduces complexity in deployment, security, and governance, diverting developer focus from core application delivery. Existing solutions often lack standardized application definitions and policy enforcement, leading to inconsistencies and increased operational overhead.
Solution
Shipa offers an application management framework that simplifies cloud-native application lifecycles by providing standardized application and policy definitions. This application-centric approach enables developers to concentrate on application deployment and management, abstracting away underlying infrastructure complexities. Shipa automates the build and deployment of application and infrastructure objects based on a standard application definition, ensuring consistency across multiple pipelines and environments. The platform provides a GUI-based portal for managing applications post-deployment, offering visibility into services, resource consumption, and policy compliance, thereby enabling developer self-service and reducing operational overhead.
