Your cloud, your rules.

Effixo turns any Kubernetes cluster — yours, your customer's, or ours — into a Heroku-grade platform, with the RBAC, multi-region, and cost controls teams rebuild by hand every time.

# ship from your terminal — onto your own cluster
$ efx apps create --name acme
$ efx svc create --app acme --name web \
      --image nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged:stable-trixie-perl \
      --port 8080/http --route 8080:/
→ live at https://<uuid>.effixo.app
$ efx svc list
# idle services sleep; the first request wakes them
$ efx svc create --app acme --name web \

# 60s without traffic → sleeps: 0 pods, near-zero compute
# next request → wakes in ~2s and is served

Kubernetes is the substrate, not the platform

The layer developers actually want — app → service → secret → volume → route, team-based access, multi-region, quotas — is missing. So every org rebuilds it: months of work, a dedicated platform team, ongoing maintenance. The alternative — a managed PaaS — means lock-in, no data sovereignty, and someone else's infrastructure.

Raw Kubernetes

  • No notion of apps, teams, or tenants
  • RBAC + multi-region assembled by hand
  • 6–12 months to a real internal platform

Managed PaaS

  • They own your compute
  • No on-prem, no air-gapped, no BYO
  • Expensive, bloated, not MSP-ready

Effixo

  • Heroku-grade DX on infrastructure you own
  • Multi-tenant RBAC + multi-region built in
  • BYO-cluster, MSP-native, deliberately lean

One control plane. Any cluster. Full tenant isolation.

A multi-tenant control plane (typed API, CLI, web UI) plus a lightweight data-plane agent that sits next to each Kubernetes cluster. Developers get self-service deploys; platform teams keep control; and your apps, data, and compute stay on your own cluster.

1

Register a cluster

Deploy the agent, register it as a region. AKS, on-prem Talos, or anything CNCF-conformant.

2

Model your org

Orgs, teams, and apps with relationship-based access control. Hard tenant isolation on every row.

3

Ship services

Deploy containers with secrets, persistent volumes, and routes — from the UI, CLI, or API.

The product is DevX. The cloud is a pluggable provider.

DevX is a single control plane; the substrate under it is substitutable — DevX + Azure, DevX + GCP, DevX + On‑Prem. We ship validated reference architectures (IaC + docs), not end-to-end infra or consulting. The control plane stays the same; only the substrate wiring changes.

Everything a team needs — nothing it doesn't

Multi-tenant RBAC

ReBAC: org → team → app → service inheritance, with hard org_id isolation.

Multi-region

Each cluster registers as a region. Deploy to the region you choose; restrict which orgs can use which.

Scoped secrets & volumes

Org-wide or app-scoped secrets and persistent volumes, with full lifecycle and clean teardown.

Zero public IP

Cloudflare Tunnel (QUIC) — no inbound ports open on your cluster. Air-gap and sovereignty friendly.

CLI & typed API

efx ships from your terminal; an OpenAPI-typed API and API keys drive everything else.

Observability

Loki/Grafana logs, CPU/memory/RPS metrics, and live deployment status out of the box.

Scale-to-zero

Services sleep when idle and wake on first request — idle apps cost near-nothing on your own cluster.

Custom domains roadmap

Bring your own hostnames and TLS on top of the per-service subdomain you get today.

Built for platform engineers and MSPs

Platform engineers

You run Kubernetes and need to hand safe, self-service deploys — with team RBAC and multi-region — to your developers, without building an internal platform from scratch.

Managed service providers

You manage clusters for many customers and need white-label, multi-tenant control across all of them — each customer fully isolated, on infrastructure they own.

Even engineers who can build this find multi-region + RBAC consistently under-planned and painful. That gap is the product.

Ship on your infrastructure.

One control plane, any cluster, full tenant isolation. Your cloud, your rules.
