COMPANY

The Squark Team

We’re a small team of infrastructure engineers on a mission to make “run it in your own cloud” as easy as “push to deploy.”

The problem was obvious, so we fixed it

Every team we knew was stuck with the same choice: rent a PaaS and outgrow it — in cost, control, or compliance — or hire a platform team to babysit Kubernetes. We built Squark to end that trade-off: a control plane that gives you the Heroku experience inside your own cloud account.

Terminal Icon
Developers First
