From Cloud Company to Instagram Sensation:

ayedo from Schwalbach Reaches Millions

Cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes , and digital sovereignty are the core business. On Instagram, ayedo shows a completely different side: With humorous office videos, the Schwalbach-based tech company now reaches millions. A single reel garnered over 1.2 million views.

Schwalbach, September 2026 – Typically, ayedo deals with topics that rarely go viral on Instagram: Cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, Open Source, and the secure operation of business-critical applications. Since 2017, the company from Schwalbach in Saarland has been developing Container solutions and working on European alternatives to services from international cloud and tech providers.

On Instagram, however, ayedo consciously takes a different approach. Instead of explaining technical products, the focus is on people and everyday office life. Short, humorous videos capture situations familiar to many from their own work experiences.

The concept works: A recent reel from ayedo was viewed more than 1.2 million times and seen by over 472,000 accounts. Approximately 11,900 likes and about 3,000 saved posts indicate that the reach is not just fleeting contacts.

Thus, a relatively small tech company from Saarland reaches an international audience on a platform far beyond the classic B2B target group of a cloud provider.

No Kubernetes on Instagram

The decision against classic technical content is a deliberate one.

“Of course, we could explain on Instagram how Kubernetes works or why companies need a sovereign cloud infrastructure. But there are better formats and channels for that,” says Katrin Peter from ayedo. “On Instagram, we primarily want to entertain. We show the people behind ayedo and situations from our office that anyone who has ever worked with others can relate to.”

This way, the company consciously separates its communication channels. While technical topics like Cloud Native , digital sovereignty, cybersecurity, and Open Source are the focus on their website and in professional articles, Instagram is allowed to be lighter.

This does not contradict the company’s self-image. ayedo describes itself as a Cloud-Native engineering company aiming to strengthen digital competence and infrastructure in Germany, Europe, and especially in Saarland.

Technology from Saarland Reaches International Audience

For ayedo, the success is more than just a social media metric. It shows that even a highly specialized B2B tech company from Saarland can build a relevant brand outside its niche.

“We are based in Schwalbach and build infrastructure for complex software. That doesn’t initially sound like a topic for millions,” says Peter. “But a company is not just its products. It’s about people, collaboration, and everyday office life. That’s exactly what we show on Instagram.”

The strategy fits a company that consciously emphasizes its roots. ayedo sees significant IT infrastructure and technological expertise in Saarland, often overshadowed by international hyperscalers and big tech companies. The company aims to make this expertise more visible and further develop it in the region.

Reach Without Glossy Production

The form of the videos is also noteworthy. Instead of elaborately produced image films, ayedo relies on short scenes from everyday work, simple ideas, and humor.

The contrast is part of the concept: Behind the videos is not a lifestyle company but a team whose daily business is operating complex and business-critical software infrastructure. ayedo explicitly positions itself as a German cloud provider and, according to its own statements, does not rely on offerings from large, especially non-European cloud providers.

On Instagram, this does not become a product presentation.

There, a cloud company from Schwalbach can simply be entertaining.
