Northflank is a production workload platform that gives developers a self-service way to build, deploy, and scale any workload on their own cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle, etc.). Engineers can focus on product iteration while leveraging the power of underlying cloud infrastructure — without the corresponding toil. Northflank helps engineering teams ship faster by automating deployments, streamlining “day 2” operations, and providing a powerful abstraction over Kubernetes without sacrificing control or flexibility.
