We offer managed Kubernetes clusters that won't break the bank. By running on bare metal, we give on average 4x more CPU and RAM for the same cloud price. Kubernetes is Kubernetes, no matter where you go.
Clouds greatly revolutionized the way we deploy our applications since those times. Flexible managed resources, horizontal and vertical scaling, and stateless containers became a de facto standard. But solid monthly pay checks became a reality too.
Kubernetes is an open source platform for managing containerized workloads and services. It allows you to run your application in the same way on any platform or hardware. Platoform simplifies your life by providing hardware and managing clusters for you.
By engineers for engineers. We're happy to answer all of your questions. Here are the common ones:
Platoform is a hosting company that offers cloud-level convenience for a fraction of the price. We offer our hardware as well as managed high-level products, like Managed Kubernetes clusters, so you can focus on your business, not on infrastructure.
You likely already know what Kubernetes is. Managed means that you don't need to setup, monitor, and manage a cluster yourself. Using our Console, just define desired params, size and number of the nodes we handle the rest. Manage, downsize, or scale up your cluster within a few clicks.
No, it's not necessary. You just need to know how to be a cluster user, the rest is handled by us.
You just pay for the hardware provided depending on the region and your chosen configuration. The Console, management, and support come for free.
We provide servers in multiple regions in the USA including West, Central, and East regions. We strive to keep servers near major Cloud Providers regions, so you can expect the minimal network latency between data centers.
The cost of major Cloud Providers can be justified if you have a small scale: you can host your application without a hassle. But the bigger your needs become, the bigger price you pay for the same level of convenience. Platoform can slash 50% to 70% on average of the total bill, which is a significant amount for your 4 or 5 digits bill.
Absolutely. If you follow the modern approach to deploy your applications, you're in a good spot. Most of the applications are stateless, abstracted from hardware, and communicate over a network. There are techniques to unite multiple Kubernetes clusters into a single one. We do our best to simplify integration with the biggest cloud providers such as AWS, GCP, and Azure.
If you have trouble with integrations, we're happy to help you. We have a dedicated team of engineers with big experience with cloud hosting. We offer a flat rate for our services: $100/hr.
We live in a real world, and nothing in this world lasts forever. Unfortunately, it happens to humans as well. Even big names don't guarantee 100% uptime.
But we do our best to provide the best uptime possible. We have a dedicated team of engineers who monitor and manage our infrastructure 24/7. We have a 99.9% SLA guarantee, which is a standard in the industry.
We're in the early stage and in active development.
We have a lot of news to share!
