Customary is a platform that automates end‑to‑end Kubernetes deployments for solo developers and small teams. By linking a GitHub repo, it provisions clusters, integrates databases, queues and storage with one click, provides free SSL, sandboxed environments, and dynamically scales resources based on traffic, all billed on a consumption‑based model.

Problem
Developers often need to set up, configure, and manage multiple DevOps tasks—such as Kubernetes deployments, service integrations, scaling, and security—manually. This process consumes significant time, introduces configuration errors, and requires expertise comparable to a full DevOps team.
Solution
Customary provides a unified platform that automates the end‑to‑end deployment workflow for applications on Kubernetes. By linking a GitHub repository, the system provisions the cluster, configures databases, queues, and shared storage, and applies free SSL certificates automatically. It monitors real‑time traffic to scale resources dynamically, ensuring performance while avoiding over‑provisioning. Deployments can be rolled forward or back with a single action, and each application runs in an isolated sandboxed environment. The platform’s consumption‑based pricing lets developers pay only for the resources they actually use, eliminating hidden fees and per‑user charges.
Target Audience
Customary is aimed at solo developers, small development teams, and startups that need DevOps capabilities without maintaining a dedicated operations staff.
