DevOps & Cloud

Follow‑the‑Sun DevOps & Cloud: 24 / 7 Reliability,
Cost Control, and Asia‑to‑Global Reach

Market Reality

Cloud spend wastage tops 30 % for the average enterprise.

Release frequency is now measured in hours, not weeks, yet downtime remains career-limiting.

Multi-cloud is evolving beyond AWS and Azure, as growth markets increasingly require region-specific platforms and capabilities, including providers Alibaba Cloud and Google Cloud.

Gradion’s DevOps practice answers these challenges with a unique blend of global coverage, deep platform engineering, and cross-cultural cloud expertise.

Flagship Reference: commercetools

For many years, we have been the one of the DevOps operators for commercetools’ worldwide SaaS platform-thousands of micro‑services, petabytes of data, and millions of API calls per minute.

Our Asia‑based SRE crew owns “follow‑the‑sun” daytime operations, handing off seamlessly to EU colleagues. Result: 99.99% uptime and zero unplanned downtime releases across three continents.

CTO Leadership in the Field

Our DevOps culture is led by Ludovic Toison, Gradion CTO and a recognised voice at DevOpsDays Geneva, DevOpsCon, Tech Rocks Asia, and industry keynotes across Europe and APAC.

250+ engineers under his guidance adopt cloud‑native stacks-Kubernetes, Istio, GitOps-for clients at hyperscale.

Thought‑leadership talks include “Beyond Pipelines: Unlocking DevSecOps Strategy” and “Moving Your Architecture to the Next Level with Service Meshes.” (devopsdays.org, devopscon.io, devday.org, youtube.com)
