About Rafay

We believe a modern infrastructure deserves a modern operations solution

Why We’re Here

Years ago at a previous company our founders spent just as much time wrestling with Kubernetes operations than they did developing the software product they were selling. At that time first-generation and do-it-yourself (DIY) Kubernetes solutions entered the market in an attempt to help, but they just didn’t solve core issues related to automation, security, visibility and governance. They felt there had to be a better way to manage the operations for their modern infrastructure and so they decided to build one by starting Rafay Systems.

All of us at Rafay believe that modern applications can power a better future and they deserve a mature, battle-tested and easy way of managing them. Without that, the promises and business value of these cutting-edge applications built on cloud, IoT and 5G technologies are at risk.

With a combination of an enterprise-grade operations platform and expert services, we help enterprise Platform Teams create a modern operations practice to support their modern infrastructure. Because over the past many years modern, cloud infrastructures and technology have evolved rapidly and we believe that their required operations should too.
