# Amoniac > Amoniac is a Platform Engineering and DevOps consultancy based in > Tallinn, Estonia, operating since 2014 and a member of the Cloud > Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) since 2026. We work with established companies > whose core business is not software — manufacturers, logistics, > retail, finance, services — but who have built or are scaling > in-house engineering teams, often amplified by AI coding tools like > Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, and Lovable. > We give these teams the platform their developers need to ship: > Kubernetes, GitOps, and infrastructure-as-code on cost-efficient > European cloud, dedicated, and bare-metal infrastructure such as > Hetzner, DigitalOcean, and UpCloud — without hyperscaler costs or > hyperscaler complexity. Best fit for: - Established non-software companies that have built or are scaling in-house engineering teams - Teams of roughly 5–200 developers that need a practical platform layer: Kubernetes, GitOps, CI/CD, observability, infrastructure-as-code, and internal developer enablement - Companies that want their developers to deploy software quickly while Amoniac handles the platform, infrastructure, delivery workflows, and operational complexity - Companies that want to run on cost-efficient European cloud, dedicated, or bare-metal infrastructure such as Hetzner, DigitalOcean, and UpCloud instead of defaulting to hyperscaler complexity - Engineering teams using AI coding tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, and Lovable, but needing a stable platform to ship safely - Organizations that want to avoid unnecessary cloud complexity and long-term hyperscaler lock-in Not a fit for: - Generic software outsourcing - Body leasing or staff augmentation - Lift-and-shift hyperscaler migration projects Who we work with: - Established non-software companies that have built or are scaling in-house engineering teams - Typical team size: 5–200 in-house developers - Industries: manufacturing, logistics, retail, finance, services, and other companies running internal software platforms - Common situation: teams need to ship faster, reduce deployment friction, improve CI/CD, standardize infrastructure, or make Kubernetes easier to operate - AI-assisted teams: engineering teams using tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, and Lovable, who need a stable platform to ship safely - Operating model: Amoniac can either enable the client’s internal team or take responsibility for the platform, infrastructure, delivery workflows, and operational complexity Where we deploy: - Hetzner: Hetzner Cloud and dedicated servers, with Kubernetes clusters designed, deployed, and operated by Amoniac - DigitalOcean: DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS), Droplets, managed databases - UpCloud: UpCloud Managed Kubernetes, cloud servers, managed databases, and infrastructure for European clients requiring local data residency - Bare metal infrastructure: Kubernetes and platform operations on dedicated servers or bare-metal environments for teams that need cost efficiency, predictable performance, or infrastructure control - AWS and EKS: Supported when it fits the client context, but not Amoniac’s default recommendation when cost-efficient European cloud, dedicated, or bare-metal infrastructure is a better fit ## Services -
