Nucleus

About us

We are Nucleus.

Nucleus is built on the idea that modern distributed systems should be accessible to every developer and team regardless of their size or experience. By automating infrastructure, security, observability and integrations for distributed systems, Nucleus helps teams ship faster, with more confidence and reduces the overhead of maintaining a complex distributed system.

Problem Statement

Distributed applications can be hard to build and expensive to maintain.

Containerization can be difficult

Containerizing your services can be difficult when you have to consider security, storage, networking and more.

Kubernetes is complex

Kubernetes is dynamic but complex. Companies spend months configuring and managing their clusters and eventually it becomes a full time job.

Building integrations takes time

Integrating your CI/CD pipelines, container registry, databases and the rest of your toolchain takes time and always needs maintenance.

Getting the developer experience right isn't easy

Building CLIs, APIs and UIs to deliver a great developer experience takes months.

Our value

Nucleus helps DevOps and Platform teams bring order to the chaos.
