Currently, when planning to use kubernetes for your infrastructure, the choices you have are either self-hosting and operating your clusters or using one of the many managed public cloud offerings. Both options come with trade-offs. Be it vendor lock-in, high operational overhead or data privacy concerns.
Flynnt tries to be another option with different trade-offs.
How does flynnt compare to EKS, AKS, GKE, etc? In general, most hosted k8s service providers force you to use their compute service offering and don't allow adding arbitrary nodes from outside. So, flynnt is best compared to "EKS Anywhere", "GKE Anthos" or similar.
Privacy: We are a european company and will be 100% GDPR-compliant on launch. Our service is currently hosted in germany. Your data does not need to be moved into a cloud just for using higher-tier abstractions like kubernetes.
Pricing: Pricing will be fixed per cluster. As you can use whatever hosting provider you want, just choose the provider that fits your pocket. You can also mix different providers for your compute nodes. Just be aware of latency for inter-node communication.
