SmoothGlue™ is the platform you can trust to perform flawlessly, and we're proud to share how our team is committed to earning and keeping that trust..
We engineered a system built on reliability, security, resilience, and scalability (rs2), which we’ve dubbed "SmoothGlue Marketecture." This architecture illustrates the flow from product management and application development (Build) to secure, containerized deployment (Run) via a GitOps-centric model. It separates the Build process from the Run environment to guarantee that every component is developed, tested, and deployed through a secure, automated, and repeatable process.
Our recent successes are a direct result of this architecture. Let's break down its tangible outcomes..
The following diagram highlights our use of GitOps as the core synchronization mechanism. By treating infrastructure and application configuration as code (managed in GitLab and our BaaS), all changes to our running environments are declarative, version-controlled, and auditable. This eliminates manual configuration errors and enables the self-healing and orchestration capabilities of Kubernetes, which is the foundation of our Container Platform.
Performing a coordinated upgrade across four enterprise Kubernetes clusters is a complex undertaking. Our success comes from the robust CI/CD Pipelines, as shown in the SmoothGlue Marketecture diagram within the Application Development block. These automated pipelines handle everything from security scanning and secrets management to building signed, trusted artifacts. When it's time to deploy, the GitOps continuous sync process ensures that each cluster pulls the correct version in a controlled, predictable manner, making complex operations, like the upgrade to version 1.31, smooth and repeatable.
The reason we can run hundreds of applications is that we provide a clear, secure path from code to production. The Build side of our platform gives development teams standardized tools, supported languages, and automated security checks. Once an application is approved, it enters the Run ecosystem, where our Container Platform provides everything from service mesh and tracing to a lightweight BaaS and monitored single sign-on. This end-to-end system allows our customers to onboard applications quickly without compromising security or stability.
The proof is in the performance. Over the last two months, this integrated approach has enabled our team to achieve:
This is the momentum and reliability we're bringing into the launch of SmoothGlue 7.0. We're not just building features; we're building trust.
Kudos to the entire team for setting a new standard of excellence!

Reliability, Engineered in Code: How SmoothGlue Delivers Enterprise Trust
In high-stakes environments, 'good enough' isn't an option. Downtime isn't just inconvenient—it's unacceptable. SmoothGlue's (rs)² architecture delivers enterprise-scale reliability through code, not staff.
"Crimson Tide" Moments in Software: When Teams Just Want the Radio to Work
Today’s systems don’t suffer from a lack of data. They suffer from a lack of semantic alignment, a shared understanding of what a signal means, and what should happen next.
