Ship product,
not platform.

For European SaaS companies, Stakater Cloud is the managed OpenShift platform that replaces the 12–18-month platform build, the 3–5-engineer platform team, and the recurring EU data residency objection — so your engineers ship product features, not platform plumbing.

The platform tax

Twelve to eighteen months.
Three to five engineers.
Zero shipped features.

Building a production-grade Kubernetes platform in-house takes the best part of a year. After that, an on-call rota, recurring upgrades, and the long tail of incidents you didn't plan for.

Stakater Cloud provides that platform layer from day one — managed, operated, and upgraded by the team already running it in production across hundreds of clusters.

What you get

A developer platform that's already built.

Four things your product team gets on day one, without staffing a platform org.

EU residency

Default deployment in Amsterdam, no DPA back-and-forth.

Every customer cluster starts in our EU data centre. Your sales team stops losing deals to "where is the data?". Your legal team stops re-drafting the DPA.

  • GDPR-aligned operations end-to-end
  • Data Processing Agreement on file
  • Additional regions on request
GitOps & CI/CD

Pre-wired delivery pipeline.

ArgoCD and Tekton are integrated and operated. Pipelines on day one — not a six-month spike.

Day-2 operations

No on-call rota to build.

Stakater SRE owns upgrades, patching, incidents, and capacity. Your engineers stay on product work.

Observability

Dashboards from the first deploy.

Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki configured and managed. Alerting is on before your first paying customer.

Build vs buy

Stop building the platform.
Start shipping the product.

Three axes that decide whether your roadmap is paced by features or by platform debt.
