Problem
Developers often face inconsistencies between development, staging, and production environments, leading to deployment issues and increased debugging time. Traditional cloud platforms can also impose seat-based pricing and feature tiers, hindering collaborative development and increasing costs.
Solution
Zerops is a developer-centric cloud platform that provides a unified infrastructure for building, deploying, and managing applications across various environments, eliminating environment discrepancies. Leveraging a Kubernetes-like architecture, Zerops scales resources dynamically from single containers to high-availability setups. The platform offers native support for runtimes, managed databases, and storage, along with features like environment variables, logs, health checks, metrics, load balancing, custom domains, and automatic SSL. Zerops uses a transparent, minute-based pricing model that scales with resource usage, without seat fees or feature tiers. The platform is built on its own hardware and extends beyond traditional cloud services with Zerops Mate, an AI engineer that ships working code, and Zerops Box, which provides persistent VMs for AI agents.
Target Audience
Zerops targets solo developers, small to medium-sized teams, and businesses seeking a scalable and cost-effective cloud platform for projects of any size and complexity.
