Open-source tools for deploying, managing, and monitoring cloud apps
We build an open-source platform that lets developers deploy, manage, and monitor their applications directly in their own cloud accounts. Instead of locking users into our infrastructure, we let them run their apps on any cloud provider they choose, using tools that simplify complex deployments and streamline management.
We live mainly in Atlanta, GA, with parts of the team working remotely. After YC, we plan to base the company where it makes the most sense to grow, remaining flexible but probably maintaining a strong remote culture with roots in Atlanta.
Atlanta gives us strong access to engineering talent while keeping operating costs low. Remote work fits the distributed nature of our current team and the customers we serve.
