Customer Spotlight: Outrider

One of Outrider’s primary hurdles was the need to operate across multiple cloud providers seamlessly. As a startup, Outrider sought flexibility in choosing cloud environments but struggled with the complexity and lack of interoperability among different platforms. This challenge hindered their ability to adapt quickly to changing business requirements and constrained their innovation potential.

Moreover, managing Kubernetes infrastructure posed a considerable obstacle for Outrider, especially with a small team. The intricacies of Kubernetes management required significant time and resources, diverting attention away from core development tasks. Outrider recognized the urgent need for a solution that could streamline their Kubernetes operations, reduce complexity, and enable their team to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.

In addition to multi-cloud and Kubernetes challenges, Outrider faced issues with excessive cloud spending. With limited visibility and control over resource usage, they struggled to optimize costs effectively while maintaining performance and scalability. The lack of cost optimization tools and strategies further exacerbated their financial challenges, inhibiting their ability to allocate resources efficiently and invest in growth initiatives.

Furthermore, Outrider's small team lacked the resources to address implementation challenges and ongoing support needs adequately. They needed a solution provider that could offer comprehensive support and guidance throughout the integration process and beyond. Without dedicated assistance, Outrider risked encountering roadblocks that could delay their time-tomarket and hinder their competitive edge in the fastpaced autonomous vehicle industry.
