Cosa fa Skyhook

We make running services on Kubernetes as easy as Heroku, but on your cloud and with all the flexibility and power of Kubernetes. Companies use Skyhook so that they don't have to hire dedicated infrastructure engineers. Although 50-70% of organizations have already adopted Kubernetes, most developers agree that it is too complex and difficult to manage. It is intended to be extremely flexible in order to solve pretty much everyone’s needs, but it can take a ton of work and many auxiliary tools to get there. As companies grow, they spend a lot on DevOps or Platform Engineers that try to reduce the burden on developers by gluing together all the 3p tools via custom internal tools. We are building an “internal developer platform” out of the box, with best practices and golden paths for building and operating services on Kubernetes. We do the research on the latest and greatest tools in the extremely vibrant ecosystem, and automatically integrate for you the tools you want to use. We operate on our customers code and in your Cloud environment, so they never locked in and never restricted, as is common with classic PaaS offerings. If you prefer a fully hosted environment like Heroku, Fly or Vercel, we’ll host a cluster for you and offer you a one-click migration to your own cluster when you want.

Kubernetes-powered PaaS experience on your cloud

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

We make it easier for companies to run services on Kubernetes by providing a turnkey internal developer platform. Our product delivers Heroku-like simplicity but runs on the customer's cloud and retains full Kubernetes flexibility. It bundles best practices and automates integration with popular DevOps tools, so customers don't need to build complex internal infrastructure or hire a dedicated platform team.

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

We live and work in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Tel Aviv is where we want to build and grow Skyhook since it's our home and where our initial team is. The local tech scene supports B2B and dev tools well, and this keeps us close to our users and product.
