YaK 2.0 Automated multi-cloud PaaS deployment

Hello, dear tech enthusiasts and cloud aficionados!

We’ve got some news that’s about to make your life —or your deployments, at least— a whole lot easier. Meet YaK 2.0, the latest game-changer in the world of automated multi-cloud PaaS deployment. After months of development, testing, troubleshooting, a fair share of meetings and way too much coffee, YaK is officially launching today.

Automated multi-cloud PaaS deployment. What’s the deal with YaK 2.0?

Because we believe IT professionals should spend time on complex, value-added tasks, but not on repetitive setups, we have decided to develop the YaK.
YaK is a framework that allows anyone to deploy any type of component on any platform, while ensuring quality, cost efficiency and reducing deployment time.

YaK 2.0 is your new best friend when it comes to deploying infrastructure that’s not just efficient but also identical across every platform you’re working with – be it multi-cloud or on-premises. Originating from the need to deploy multi-technology infrastructures quickly and effortlessly, YaK ensures your setup is consistent, whether you’re working with AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud, or your own on-prem servers.

In simpler terms, YaK makes sure your deployment process is consistent and reliable, no matter where. Whether you’re scaling in the cloud or handling things in-house, YaK’s got your back.

Why you should have a look at YaK 2.0?

Here’s why we think YaK is going to become your favorite pet:

  • Flexibility: Deploy across AWS, Azure, OCI, or your own servers—YaK adapts to your infrastructure, making every platform feel like home.
  • Automation: Eliminate repetitive setups with automated deployments, saving you time and headaches.
  • Cost efficiency & speed: YaK cuts time-to-market, streamlining deployments for fast, standardized rollouts that are both cost-effective and secure.
  • Freedom from vendor lock-In: YaK is vendor-neutral, letting you deploy on your terms, across any environment.
  • Swiss software backed up by a consulting company (dbi services) with extensive expertise in deployments.

With this release, we’re excited to announce a major upgrade:

  • Sleek new user interface: YaK 2.0 now comes with a user-friendly interface, making it easier than ever to manage your deployments. Say hello to intuitive navigation.
  • Components: We’ve got components on our roadmap (available with an annual subscription), and we’ll be announcing them shortly : Oracle Database, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Kubernetes are already on the list and will be released soon.

Many more will follow… Stay tuned!
