Keisson

Kubernetes might be unmatched for orchestrating your containerised apps, the management overhead is hard to swallow. We get it. That’s why we created Keisson. Keisson is a platform that packs all the power and potential of Kubernetes but takes all the hard work off your hands.

We're super excited to be exhibiting at @cambridgetechweek.bsky.social 2026! We have a stall in Innovation Alley - we'll be there all day on Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th so please come and say hi. We'd love to talk your ear off about making Kubernetes work for for you!

Most data centre setups use a Top of Rack router or switch: every server is connected up to a box at the top which handles networking for the whole rack. This gives centralised control & full rack connectivity without each server having to worry much about routing. That's not how Keisson does it.

In a Kubernetes environment, every machine has to act as a pseudo router and firewall for its containers anyway, as each has its own network identity. Why duplicate the networking effort twice? This allows us to wring as much usage out of our racks as possible.

Keisson doesn't just whack Kubernetes on top of a legacy VM or classic server based model. Each layer in the system - from the bare metal up - was designed specifically for our Kubernetes-as-a-Service offering.

Latency between servers is as low as physically possible. By reducing the number of machines that network traffic has to transit through to get from its source to its destination, our infrastructure can be lightning fast.

Massive resiliency against equipment failure. Our mesh model gives every machine many routes to get traffic where it needs to go. Node failure? No problem. And route fall-over and recalculation happens automatically and in real time.

Instead, all of our servers are connected directly to one another, forming a direct mesh. We pull this off by using our own networking code, which turns each and every server into its own router for itself and the containerised workloads running on it. This brings us several advantages...

Businesses are focusing more & more on cutting the thinking out of their processes, using AI. Not us. For the infrastructure that sits under all your services, we understand that security, resilience & stability are a core part of our responsibility, not an inconvenience to be optimised away.

Call us weird, but that is exactly the stuff we love doing! Every part of our platform - from the cluster configurations we use, the choices of components we install, all the way down to the base operating system on our bare metal servers - has been designed, considered & implemented by a human.

For serious infrastructure, built by passionate humans, Keisson is the must-use platform that packs all the power and potential of Kubernetes but takes all the hard work off your hands.

For the last 2 years I've been cooking. What if we could have a truly managed Kubernetes platform that takes the headache of running a cluster off your hands? And what if we could do it in a serverless way, to massively reduce wasteful compute usage? Announcing @keisson.com, which does just that!
