InfraCloud Technologies

InfraCloud Technologies is a cloud-native engineering and consulting company that began as a startup in 2016 and grew into a specialist services provider focused on Kubernetes, open-source infrastructure and AI platforms. Its stated mission is to "unleash growth" by democratizing cloud-native technologies for customers through products and services, and by creating opportunities for its employees (whom it calls "Infranauts") and the wider community. The company positions itself around helping organizations adopt cloud-native practices end to end — from strategy and architecture to implementation and operations. InfraCloud's core offerings span several connected areas. It helps customers build GPU clouds and AI infrastructure using bare-metal provisioning tools such as Tinkerbell, private cloud platforms such as OpenStack, and cloud-native technologies including Kubernetes, Prometheus and Kubeflow. It modernizes applications and infrastructure, sets up CI/CD pipelines for code, data and models, and builds workflow orchestration for data pipelines at scale. A significant part of its business is Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) consulting, where it advises on SRE roadmaps, SLO/SLI benchmarking, error budgets, observability and monitoring stacks, automation, cost optimization and Kubernetes cluster and storage management. The company is also known for its open-source work. It created BotKube, a Kubernetes monitoring and debugging tool that integrates with messaging platforms such as Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams and Mattermost, allowing teams to monitor clusters, debug deployments and run checks directly from chat. BotKube has been adopted by more than a thousand organizations according to the company, and InfraCloud also offers enterprise editions of BotKube and Fission. Its engineers contribute to various cloud-native open-source projects. InfraCloud's journey includes becoming the first Kubernetes partner in India and only the second in the APAC region in 2017, helping a fintech company build a Kubernetes-based platform, and starting BotKube in 2018. It launched BotKube Enterprise and Fission Enterprise in 2019, grew past 75 employees by 2020, established a European presence and launched a new website in 2021, and reported strong year-over-year growth. The company has since announced that it is joining Improving, a global digital services leader with more than 20 years of experience. While operating under the Improving brand, InfraCloud states that its focus and dedication remain unchanged. Its headquarters are in Pune, India, with operations extending to Europe and other markets.

InfraCloud Technologies started its journey in 2016 as a nascent startup with a focus on cloud-native technologies. The company's early years were marked by rapid specialization in Kubernetes and open-source infrastructure. In 2017, it became the first Kubernetes partner in India and only the second in the APAC region, an early milestone that helped establish its reputation in the cloud-native ecosystem. That same period saw the company help a fintech company build a Kubernetes-based platform, and it began work on what would become BotKube, its open-source Kubernetes monitoring and debugging tool. In 2018, InfraCloud started BotKube, and in 2019 it launched BotKube Enterprise and Fission Enterprise, extending its open-source tools into commercial offerings for organizations that needed enterprise-grade support. By 2020, the company had grown to more than 75 people, whom it refers to as "Infranauts." In 2021, InfraCloud established a European presence and launched a brand new website, reflecting its expanding international footprint. The company reported being fuelled by 100% year-over-year growth around this time. InfraCloud's service portfolio evolved to include GPU cloud and AI infrastructure, cloud-native application modernization, CI/CD for code, data and models, workflow orchestration, and Site Reliability Engineering consulting. It positioned itself as a partner for organizations building private or public GPU clouds using bare-metal provisioning with Tinkerbell, private cloud with OpenStack, and cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes, Prometheus and Kubeflow. Its SRE consulting practice covers assessments, tool adoption roadmaps, SLO and SLI benchmarking, error budgets, observability, automation, cost optimization and Kubernetes cluster and storage management. A major turning point came when InfraCloud announced it was joining Improving, a global digital services leader with more than 20 years of experience. The company stated that while its name may be different now, its focus and dedication would remain unchanged. The move integrated InfraCloud into a larger digital services organization while preserving its cloud-native engineering capabilities and open-source projects such as BotKube.
