Who This Is For...

We’ve been around the block a few times and seen what works and what doesn’t.

Let's make sure we can help you.

If you're a tech-savvy startup founder who wants to achieve BIG things fast, but you're held back by slow infrastructure and lack of automation, Cloud Posse is the right partner for you. We can help you build and deploy your infrastructure quickly and efficiently, freeing you up to focus on your core business.

  • Venture-Backed Startups

    You're a venture-backed Startup aiming for unicorn status (e.g. Series A-D). Investors are putting pressure on you to take ownership of your infrastructure and there's no other way out.

  • Complex Software Architecture

    You're a business with complex requirements where Heroku just won’t cut it. You started with an MVP and now have a full-blown micro-services architecture and developers need what AWS offers. You have to level up before bad things happen.

  • Moving Very Fast

    Technology-driven and moving very fast (e.g. you know what you’re doing!) Overwhelming amount of things you want to achieve in a short amount of time.

If you're a CTO or VP Engineering who has been putting off owning your platform infrastructure and now needs to act fast, we understand the pressure you're under. This is a big problem for you right now, but with Cloud Posse, you can trust that we have the expertise and solutions to help you quickly and confidently take control of your infrastructure.

  • Can’t Ship Features Fast Enough

    You can’t ship features fast enough, and everyone is frustrated. You have smart teams who lack cloud expertise or bandwidth to master it. You need it done yesterday and the right way.

  • SOC2, HIPAA, PCI Compliance Requirements

    You may have strict HIPAA, SOC2 Type II, PCI/DSS compliance requirements. Deals are hung up on meeting them. You're far from reaching it today. Competitors will eat your lunch if you don't get it.

  • Need Shortest Path to Success

    You need the shortest path to owning your infrastructure. You want someone to show you the ropes and help you get there FAST!

If you're reading this, chances are you're feeling the pressure to deliver a solution quickly, but you're stuck because of your infrastructure. You're now the blocker, and it's probably the last thing you want. People within your company might be telling you it's easy, but your experience tells you otherwise. As someone with an engineering background, you have a hard time believing claims that you can have your infrastructure built in about a day. And we agree.

You're trying to get a handle on your platform situation and come up with a game plan, but you can't spend forever researching it. You have enough on your plate already. Maybe your team has been floating ideas around about moving to Kubernetes and introducing CI/CD, but the amount of information and conflicting opinions is overwhelming. On top of that, you tried to do this in-house, but that has also gone nowhere because everyone is slammed, and you might not even have the right skill sets in-house.

So maybe you're trying to hire a team that you can entrust to architect your new platform, but you've discovered it's insanely competitive out there (not to mention expensive!).

If any of this sounds like you, you should first know that you're not alone.

We've helped companies like yours get to where you want to be with your infrastructure in record time because this is what we do. At Cloud Posse, we understand the challenges you face and have the expertise and solutions to help you overcome them. We can work with you to design and deploy a scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure that meets your specific needs, freeing you up to focus on your core business.

With our proven, systematic, and repeatable process, we can help you achieve Sweet Ops™, a state of bliss where everything works seamlessly together. Our expertise ranges from setting up new AWS multi-account environments to complex migrations and replatforming initiatives, so you can trust us to guide you through the process of building a successful infrastructure.

So if you're ready to take the next step and achieve Sweet Ops™, contact Cloud Posse today to learn more about how we can help you get there.

Points of Differentiation

We are not like any other DevOps company. Cloud Posse does just one kind of engagement: we work with your engineering team virtually to implement our reference architecture, and then stick around for as long as it takes to see you succeed. When you're ready to bring some (or all!) of our capabilities in-house, we'll step aside and be there when you need us.

We’re focused exclusively on venture-backed startups (typically Series A-D).  More than 90% of our customers are startups and combined - they’ve raised over $1B from the biggest names in VC. We prefer to work with startups because it's in our roots and we have the same aspirations as you do.

This is our core competency. It’s all we do as a business. That’s why we can provide the assurances you need, where others cannot.

Putting together a plan is time-consuming. We’ve spent years refining our plan. Few others, if any, have.

Knowing what combination of tools works together is non-trivial and requires some degree of trial and error. We eliminate the guesswork.

  • Exclusively Focused on Startups (we get you).

    You get an end-to-end solution that is fully integrated in an environment that you own. Everything is available today.

  • We’re Based 100% on Open Source.

    You could build it yourself. Hire us to do it faster. Massive Community Adoption.

  • Cheaper and Faster Guaranteed Outcome

    You will be hard-pressed to achieve a better outcome with consultants/freelancers and building it in-house

You might be able to achieve similar results in-house, given a solid team with the right experience. But consider if this is a core competency you need to own at this stage of the game? Would it provide the same level of assurances?

Our solution is 100% open source.

Our projects have been forked hundreds of thousands of times. We receive dozens of PRs every week. This is validation that we're providing is of immense value and works for others, not just us. 

It also means our licensing is straightforward.  Nearly everything is licensed under APACHE2 - a popular and well respected permissive license that lets you pretty much do what you want, just give us some credit where credit is due.

We offer total transparency. 

We are transparent by nature. You will not be able to find a single other company that has put more “proof of work” doing-what-we-do on their GitHub than us. Period. We are so confident about our quality of work that we put our money where our mouth is: literally everything you need to get started is on our GitHub.

Since the work we showcase is public, it undergoes greater scrutiny, plus everything is peer-reviewed and tested.

BONUS: We also specialize in integrating paid solutions like Sumologic, Teleport, Datadog, Splunk, Pagerduty, Codefresh, PagerDuty, Cloudflare, etc into your stack. Our configurations for all of these integrations are still free and open-source. 

What does all this mean for you? It saves you valuable time & money on implementation since we’ve done it before.
