What Atomized does

Atomized helps developers launch applications in the cloud faster by deploying and managing the necessary infrastructure for you. Simply connect up your Github repo and your AWS account, and we'll handle the rest! The best part is that all the infrastructure runs in your AWS account, and you have full ownership and visibility into it. No more black boxes that you can't troubleshoot and manage. We want to empower engineers to build, deploy, secure, and monitor infrastructure faster than ever. Our long-term vision is to be the go-to platform to get started and to be able to manage all things cloud - no matter which cloud provider you choose.

Deploy cloud infrastructure without expertise

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a tool that lets developers launch and manage their cloud infrastructure by connecting their Github repos and AWS accounts. Atomized handles deploying the infrastructure in their own AWS accounts, giving them full control and visibility instead of a black box.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Charlotte, NC and work remotely. The company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Charlotte and remote work since it matches where the founders live and lets us tap into diverse engineering talent without moving to the Bay Area.
