Akamai Technologies, Inc. announced on November 12, 2024, the launch of the Akamai App Platform, a ready-to-run solution designed to simplify the deployment, management, and scaling of highly distributed applications. This platform is built on the cloud-native Kubernetes technology Otomi, which Akamai acquired from Red Kubes earlier in the year. The Akamai App Platform provides ready-to-run templates that address common challenges in operating Kubernetes clusters at scale.
The new solution automates the provisioning process, allowing developers to build and deploy highly distributed applications with minimal effort, reducing deployment time from months to less than an hour. It also offers near-instant scaling as production workloads grow, addressing critical needs for performance and efficiency. The platform aims to provide a balance between the ease of use of hyperscaler solutions and the flexibility and control of open-source options.
The Akamai App Platform is designed for development and operations teams at various stages of scaling their deployments, from anticipating growth to actively expanding existing services. It also supports solution integrators, value-added resellers, and independent software vendors looking for a fast and simple way to architect multicloud solutions and integrate partner offerings.
