Join Akello: Build Microservices, Learn Kubernetes, and Contribute to Healthcare Innovation 🚀

Do you have a passion for microservices, Kubernetes and open source? Do you want to take your skills to the next level while making a meaningful impact? I’d like to introduce you to Akello: an open source project built with a modular infrastructure to power the next generation of healthcare applications.

Why Akello?
Akello is more than just a project: it’s an opportunity for developers to dive deep into cutting-edge technologies, like microservices architecture and Kubernetes, while contributing to a greater public good. We’re tackling one of the toughest problems in technology: data integration in healthcare. Akello makes it easy to connect different services and helps developers innovate faster.

Here’s why you should contribute:

1. Master microservices
Akello is designed using a hexagonal microservice architecture. This means you’ll gain hands-on experience building and working with services that are isolated, scalable, and easy to deploy. If you want to learn how microservices function in a real-world context, Akello is a great place to start.

2. Get comfortable with Kubernetes
Kubernetes is the backbone of Akello. All of our services run on Kubernetes clusters, making this a great learning environment for developers eager to understand container orchestration, service discovery, and scalable deployments. Whether you’re just getting started with Kubernetes or want to hone your skills, contributing to Akello provides hands-on, hands-on experience.

3. Contribute to healthcare innovation
Healthcare is one of the most challenging industries when it comes to data integration. With Akello you contribute to building a platform that allows healthcare systems to connect services more efficiently. Our goal is to accelerate innovation in healthcare by making it easier to bring together different point solutions. Your contributions can help improve the way medical data is handled, ultimately benefiting patients and healthcare providers.

4. Expand your open source portfolio
Akello is open source. That means every contribution you make will be visible to potential employers, employees, and the broader developer community. Whether you’re fixing bugs, building new features, or optimizing infrastructure, Akello gives you the opportunity to build a solid track record in the open source world.
