Kinesis
Intent-driven infrastructure automation

Set your intent. Kinesis runs everything else.

Tell the platform what matters using simple controls. Every placement and operating decision follows from that, with no infrastructure for you to wire.

Cost

Kinesis runs your workload on the cheapest compute on the grid that meets its needs, and moves it when something cheaper appears.

Reliability

Kinesis favors stable, proven supply and recovers your workload onto healthy compute when a node drops.

Latency

Kinesis places your workload close to where it's served and keeps it there as traffic shifts.

Multi-cloud

Kinesis spreads your workload across providers on purpose, so no single cloud is a dependency.

Bring your code from anywhere - your editor, your model, your repo. We take it from there.

Compute no competitor can match

Kinesis places your workload on the right CPUs or GPUs across a network of vetted providers, bills you for the compute you actually use, and abstracts away the VPCs, IAM hierarchies, and plumbing that usually stand between you and production. Commit your code and get a live URL.

Write once, run anywhere

Run a standard container across clouds, on-premises, and partner capacity. Nothing to rebuild, no provider to get stuck on.

Operations come standard

Monitoring, scaling, recovery, certificates, and secrets are built in, so there’s no ops layer left to assemble.

Pay only for real usage

You’re billed for what you actually consume, so idle capacity never reaches the invoice.

The Kinesis Difference

What's actually different about building here

LESS OPS SURFACE

No VPC sprawl, no IAM trees, no security-group geometry. The platform handles networking, scaling, health checks, and rollbacks by default.

~80%

Fewer actions than a hyperscaler

TRUE-UTIL™ PRICING

Pay for cycles consumed, capped at Reserved

Bursty workloads save the most. Steady workloads pay the same as reserved would. Your bill tracks actual usage, not wall-clock time.

usage → billed

HARDWARE THAT FITS

CPU, GPU, big-iron, on-demand

A100, H100, H200 in 1–8× configs. Multi-card for training, single for inference, Flex for batch.

PORTABLE BY CONSTRUCTION

Standard containers

Normal Dockerfile, normal image. If Kinesis stops being the right answer, your app moves.

OBSERVABILITY BUILT IN

Logs, metrics, cost — one pane

Real-time logs, per-app utilization, per-workload spend. No glue code, no dashboards to set up.

FOR THE ARCHITECTS

How placement actually works

Kinesis continuously makes placement, scaling, pricing, and failure-handling decisions across a heterogeneous compute graph. Worth understanding if you care about the substrate.

Under the hood →
BUILD ANY WAY, RUN ON KINESIS

Your code. Your intent.
A running URL.

However you build your app — in your editor, from your repo, with your own model, or a prompt — Kinesis runs it. Tell the platform what to optimize for and it handles the infrastructure underneath. No framework to adopt, no YAML to memorize, and a standard container you can always take elsewhere.

1 Bring your code

Push from your repo, your editor, or your CI — or generate it however you like. Standard containers, nothing new to adopt.

2 Set your intent

Tell Kinesis what matters: cost, reliability, latency, or multi-cloud. Plain language or a couple of controls.

3 Kinesis runs it

Placement, scaling, recovery, and monitoring are handled. You get a live URL.

KINESIS DEPLOY
  • Bring your code from anywhere — your repo, your editor, your own model, or a prompt. Kinesis takes it from there.
  • Tell Kinesis what to optimize for — cost, reliability, latency, or multi-cloud — and every placement decision follows from your intent.
  • Standard containers, zero lock-in — every deployment is a normal container you can take anywhere.
  • Networking, auto-scaling, recovery, health monitoring, and rollbacks handled by default, on CPUs and GPUs sized to the workload — production-grade out of the box.
  • True-Util™ pricing meters the cycles you actually consume, capped at the reserved rate. Bursty workloads pay less; steady workloads never pay more.
Workload Deployment

Start wherever you are

Six paths in. Same runtime, same orchestration, same True-Util™ pricing on the other side.

GITHUB · START HERE

Connect a repo. Push to ship.

Point Kinesis at your GitHub project. Every push builds, deploys, and rolls forward automatically, with the rest of the CI/CD loop handled.

Best for: teams · production workflows · continuous delivery

REGISTRY

Bring an image from your registry.

Private or public — point us at the registry, pick a pricing model, run.

Best for: existing apps · proprietary environments · full control

DOCKERFILE

Upload a Dockerfile or ZIP. We build.

Hand us the source; we build the image and run it. The clean container-native path.

Best for: reproducible builds · portability · open-source projects

IMAGE UPLOAD

Push an image file directly.

Already built locally? Upload the image and go live without setting up a registry.

Best for: quick proofs · offline builds · restricted networks

APP GALLERY

Start from a template.

Curated stacks — LLMs, vector DBs, web frameworks, batch runners. Configure and ship.

Best for: standard apps · low ops overhead · “show me the menu”

PROMPT

Or just describe it.

Describe the app you want and start from a standard container you can edit and own, your model or ours. Deploy when it is ready.

Best for: prototypes · MVPs · “I just want this idea to exist”

The True-Util™ Model

One pricing model. Two ways to buy.

True-Util™ works the same way regardless of how much computing power you need. Pick the buying mode that matches your workload — the metering, caps, and telemetry are identical.

TRUE-UTIL™ SERVERLESS

Metered usage, capped at the Dedicated rate

Serverless compute on the Kinesis grid. You pay for the compute, memory, storage, and bandwidth your workloads actually use, and never more than you would pay for the equivalent Dedicated machine. Spiky, variable, or hard-to-forecast workloads save the most.

  • Best for inference, dev/staging, agencies, MVPs
  • Runs across a range of CPU and GPU classes
  • No upfront commitments
TRUE-UTIL™ DEDICATED

The whole machine, billed by the hour

Single-tenant compute that is yours for as long as you run it. Full control over the box, predictable billing, and the same Kinesis orchestration and telemetry as Serverless. For workloads where steady utilization is a given.

  • Best for steady training, production HPC, regulated workloads
  • Choice across providers, which reduces lock-in
  • Full control over configuration, performance, privacy
Pricing

Rates

The low end is what you pay when the machine is idle. The high end is the Dedicated cap — competitive and the most you would pay on a traditional cloud.
