Modern cloud for modern apps: partnership between Cognito and Geetoo

Cognito was looking for a reliable cloud partner that would allow them to focus on application development while ensuring a stable, scalable, and secure environment. Geetoo provided them with a complete cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes cluster, and managed databases, giving Cognito more time to innovate and grow their business. 

Profil společnosti Cognito

Company Cognito CZ s.r.o. has been active in the Czech and Central European markets for over 15 years. The company specializes in comprehensive marketing services for clients across various industries and in custom application development. This area is managed by the Cognito Works division, led by CTO Tomáš Ondruš. Their key clients include companies such as Isotra, Moje lékárna, and the Con Gusto restaurant network.

Důvody přechodu do cloudu

Cognito’s primary goal was to transfer its IT infrastructure to a reliable cloud solutions provider, allowing them to focus entirely on their core business — application development. They needed a solution that was not only reliable but also easily scalable and capable of ensuring the stable operation of their systems.

A strong emphasis was also placed on high-quality technical support — one that involves real experts who can effectively address technical challenges rather than call center employees reading from a script. For this reason, Cognito sought an experienced local partner. 

“The main reason for moving to the cloud was that we wanted to focus more on our core business — application development — without dealing with hardware and infrastructure management. Geetoo provides us with a stable environment where we can seamlessly scale performance and leverage managed services” Tomáš Ondruš, CTO. 

Cloud solutions, Kubernetes, and managed databases give developers the freedom to focus on what matters most — development. Virtual resources (IaaS) eliminate concerns about physical hardware, Kubernetes orchestrates containerized applications to ensure scalability and reliability, and managed databases (DBaaS) reduce the need for in-house technical specialists, saving time on maintenance and simplifying the development and operation of modern applications. 

Řešení od Geetoo

Cognito decided to utilize Geetoo Technology’s services. Currently, Geetoo provides cloud infrastructure (IaaS), Kubernetes orchestration, and database services: 

  • Cloud Compute: Virtual servers form the foundation of Cognito’s IT infrastructure.
  • Managed K8s Cluster: Geetoo handles the installation, maintenance, monitoring, and backup of the Kubernetes cluster.
  • Managed Databases: Currently supporting PostgreSQL, with plans to expand to additional services such as message brokers.

Součástí Geetoo Support pro Kubernetes je:

  • Full installation, maintenance, and operation of the cluster (both master and worker nodes).
  • Configuration of connectivity and network integration between the client and Geetoo.
  • Performance monitoring and proactive incident alerts.
  • Cluster and application data backups.
  • Upgrade recommendations to keep clusters on the latest stable versions.

Přínosy spolupráce s Geetoo

According to Cognito’s CTO, Tomáš Ondruš, the key benefits of partnering with Geetoo include stability, live scaling, and local support. Geetoo’s support team is composed of experienced experts who can respond immediately and assist in critical situations. This was evident during this year’s floods when Geetoo effectively managed all Cognito’s requests. 

The three key factors Geetoo provides us with are system stability, live scalability, and data redundancy. These attributes are crucial for both us and our clients.
