6–12 months to production readiness
Time-to-market
Evaluation, integration, hardening, observability, identity, backups, and policies take months before the first business application runs reliably in production.

Organizations across the European Economic Area trust ayedo
What running software operations yourself costs
Owning production operations yourself ties up time and people – often at the expense of time-to-market and product development.
A dedicated operations team
Operations headcount
Running operations in-house requires specialists for Kubernetes, networking, and security – including round-the-clock on-call coverage that many compliance frameworks expect.
Development capacity tied up
Development headcount
Experienced engineers spend their time on upgrades and incidents instead of features that create value for your customers.
What you get with ayedo
The answer to time-to-market, operations, and development cost: onboarding in a few days, 24/7 operations by experts, and developers who work on the product again.
Fast onboarding
Time-to-market

VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, endpoint monitoring, Anycast DNS, and load balancing provide visibility and reachability for your services.
How modern app development works
Cloud-native development based on the 15-Factor principles with Kubernetes as the target runtime is the de-facto standard for a sovereign software delivery lifecycle – from code to operations in the EU.
15 Factors as the blueprint
Cloud-native by design
One codebase, declarative dependencies, config in the environment, stateless processes, API First, telemetry, and auth – the extension of the classic 12 Factors for microservices and zero trust.
Kubernetes as the target system
Industry standard
An open, community-backed standard with maximum flexibility and no vendor lock-in – Managed Kubernetes
as the sovereign target for the software delivery lifecycle.
Sovereign delivery lifecycle
From repo to production
GitOps, identity, observability, and backing services on EU infrastructure – the same certified lifecycle for catalog apps and Bring-your-own-App
.
You build it, we run it
Shared responsibility
You ship 15-Factor-ready software; ayedo takes Day-2, compliance evidence, and operations in the software delivery lifecycle
.
GPU and AI workloads
Where providers offer GPU compute, we integrate it into your clusters – including monitoring and tooling for inference and model operations.
GPU compute in your clusters
Provider-agnostic
With cloud and infrastructure providers that offer GPUs, we extend your workload clusters with the corresponding compute capacity.
AI functionality and tooling
Inference and operations
We provide monitoring, suitable operating processes, and tools such as Ollama when your project requires local or private inference.
The same operating standard
No special stack
GPU and AI workloads run under the same operations, backup, and observability standards as your other applications.
