Why Container Management Is Hard
You want to run containers. You don't want to become a platform team.
Too Complex
You just want to run containers. But suddenly you need Kubernetes, Helm, ingress controllers, service meshes, CNI plugins. Your team should build products, not manage platforms.
Vendor Lock-In
AWS ECS, Azure Container Instances, Google Cloud Run. Proprietary APIs, proprietary tooling. Moving later costs months of engineering time.
Unpredictable Costs
$90/TB egress fees. Per-request pricing. Per-IOPS charges. Your bill increases 20-30% annually. Finance asks why cloud costs keep growing.

Use Cases
From simple web apps to complex microservices
Web Applications
Production web apps, APIs, backends. Auto-scaling based on traffic. TLS termination included. Custom domains.
Microservices
Service-to-service communication. Service discovery. Internal load balancing. Distributed tracing (optional).
Batch Processing
Scheduled jobs, data pipelines, ETL. Run to completion. Pay for compute time used.
CI/CD Runners
Build agents, test runners. Ephemeral containers. Scale up for builds, scale down after.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. You provide container images and configuration. We handle the orchestration. You don't need to learn Kubernetes, Helm, or any other platform tools.
Any OCI-compliant container image. Docker images work. Build with Docker, Buildah, Podman, or any tool that produces OCI images.
Push images to our registry or use your own. Deploy via UI, CLI, or CI/CD integration. We support GitOps workflows if you prefer.
Yes. Define scaling rules based on CPU, memory, or custom metrics. We handle the infrastructure scaling. You set the limits.
We provide persistent volumes backed by NVMe storage. Your data survives container restarts. S3-compatible object storage also available.
We also offer managed Kubernetes (RKE2) with full cluster access. Migration path is straightforward since we use standard container images. Learn more about our Kubernetes platform.
