There have been many exciting moments on our journey, but it all started with the belief that businesses should be able to leverage the full power of modern technologies without hassle.
In 2008, our founders started supporting and servicing Open Source technologies for business infrastructure. It all began with ensuring reliable operations for web applications on Linux-based virtual machines. Then, it naturally transitioned to containers and a wider Cloud Native ecosystem that bloomed with Kubernetes.
During these years, we have developed and refined a clear vision of how DevOps and SRE should work for a business to benefit. We have shaped service quality standards and created our tools and solutions to ensure top-notch service for delivering and operating modern software.
