Helm Chart Development in Nigeria
Reduce the complexity of your deployments by using Helm. Install, update, or rollback your Kubernetes applications more efficiently with Helm charts. Our DevOps engineers develop the architecture of Helm charts according to use cases, team requirements, and the topology of your systems.
How does our Helm Chart Services work?
Helm charts for common deployments are available to download from public repositories. But even then, the package that is to be installed through the chart will need customizing to your needs. In addition, charts pulled from public repositories will not always be simple manifests but could be so complex that they devour much of your developers’ time. You need certain knowledge of Helm to efficiently handle such types of tasks.
With so many variables to consider, save your team time and effort with our Helm Chart services. Facilitate the advantages of Helm as a packet manager and templating engine to automate your Kubernetes deployments.
What we do
- Creating and customizing Helm charts of any complexity.
- Applying Helm charts to a cluster, Helm release management.
- Architecting Helm charts according to a usage scenario.
- Assistance and support of developers’ teams who generate and manage Helm charts on their own.
Why use Helm?
Deploying containerized applications to Kubernetes can be a tricky process. First, it involves launching a range of services that would enable container deployment. Second, it requires writing complex manifests or configuration files for a particular deployment. Moreover, every time developers need to deploy a full-stack container, they have to rewrite these configs from scratch. As your services grow in complexity, this cycle becomes even more intricate and time-consuming.
The solution is using Helm – a packet manager tool that will help you simplify even the most complicated application deployments into a single command. Helm installs applications to Kubernetes using charts – packaged sets of YAML files that contain all preconfigured resources needed to run a container.
Benefits you get
Time-saving
Developers don’t have to get back to writing yaml files each time they need to deploy a Kubernetes application.
Simplicity of deployments
All the components needed for a particular deployment are packaged in an application chart and deployed at once, with a single command.
Automation
Helm chart API provides for a high level of automation, which makes your deployments more efficient, stable, and repeatable.
Templating
Using Helm you can define a common template for all microservices and deploy it across multiple Kubernetes environments.
Rollbacks
Helm keeps a version history of different configurations sent to Kubernetes, so you can easily rollback to the last working version as a backup if things go awry.
Community support
Charts for commonly used deployments are available in public repositories and can be customized to your case.
Frequently asked questions
Why do we need custom Helm charts?
Charts turn a set of Kubernetes manifests into a versioned, configurable package, so the same application deploys identically to development, staging and production.
Do you maintain the charts afterwards?
Yes. We can host a private chart repository, keep charts updated with Kubernetes releases and integrate them with Argo CD or your pipelines.
Can you convert our existing manifests?
Yes. We refactor existing YAML into charts with sensible defaults, values files per environment and automated tests.

Linestech took over our Kubernetes platform and within three months deployment failures dropped to almost zero. They work like an extension of our own engineering team.
Our cloud bill was growing faster than our revenue. Linestech cut it by more than a third without touching performance, and the savings paid for the engagement in the first quarter.
We needed 24/7 coverage without hiring a 24/7 team. Their SRE service gave us real monitoring, real on-call and a lot more sleep.
From discovery workshop to App Store launch in two weeks. The app does exactly what our customers asked for, and it has not gone down once.
The distributor app replaced spreadsheets, phone calls and paper. Our sales team could see orders in real time for the first time.
They migrated our booking systems to AWS over a single weekend with zero downtime. That is the kind of execution we expected, and got.
