Rafay enables developers to automate the distribution, operations, cross-region scaling and lifecycle management of containerized microservices across public and private clouds, and service provider networks. Rafay’s platform is built around foundational elements that together deliver an optimal abstraction layer across disparate infrastructure, making it easy for developers to scale and operate applications across any number of locations or regions. Consumed as a service, Rafay’s platform eliminates the need to build an in-house platform or developing any specialized compute distribution capabilities. The platform significantly simplifies the deployment of containerized apps anywhere. Organizations can now achieve their desired levels of reliability, availability and performance with any combination of public cloud environments through a developer-friendly SaaS offering. From deploying a simple web crawler across multiple regions, to running a cloud gaming platform across multiple public clouds, to operating a ride-share platform, the level of specialization needed to build and maintain a unified distribution platform is very high.
