Skyhook

PaaS-like experience with the power of Kubernetes, on your cloud

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.

The Problem

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, however, 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 3rd party tools via custom internal tools.

Our Ask 🙏

Contact us - We have a few last slots left in our beta - we’d love to see if we can help you step up your Kubernetes game or migrate, so that you can focus on building your own product instead of configuring YAML files and tools all day.

We also offer free Kubernetes consultation!

Please contact us or book time - we’d love to assist, even if you don’t end up using our product. Learning about real-life challenges that you are facing and trying to help you navigate them helps inform our roadmap and focus.
