Problem
Developers and organizations often struggle with the operational burden of managing cloud infrastructure, including container orchestration, scaling, security, and compliance. This complexity slows down development velocity and diverts resources away from building core product features, especially for teams that need to meet strict European data protection regulations.
Solution
Molnett provides a fully managed, serverless cloud platform that abstracts away infrastructure management, allowing developers to deploy applications, databases, and storage with minimal effort. The platform automatically scales workloads from zero to hero, manages Postgres databases via Neon, and offers fast, reliable S3-compatible object storage powered by Ceph. Built with zero-trust security principles, Molnett isolates tenants using Firecracker and Bottlerocket, encrypts data at-rest and in-transit, and provides audit logs and configurable encryption keys. Developers can deploy Docker images, add custom domains, and manage scaling behavior through a simple CLI tool, eliminating the need for Terraform or other IaC software.
Target Audience
Primary customers are European developers and software teams who want to build modern applications without managing infrastructure or compliance, particularly those needing to meet strict EU data protection and security standards.
