Managed Services based on Open Source

The Contain Platform is built on a collection of best-in-class open-source software, primarily from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) landscape.

We don't just provide you with open-source software; we curate, harden, and integrate a selection of projects into a seamless and secure platform. This turns powerful but complex individual tools into a reliable, managed ecosystem.

The Benefits of an Open-Source Foundation

Basing our platform on open source provides you with some key advantages:

• No Vendor Lock-In

  You are not tied to a proprietary ecosystem. The components are industry standards, giving you the freedom to run your workloads anywhere.

• Community-Driven Innovation

  We harness the collective power of a global community, ensuring our platform benefits from the latest features and security practices.

• Transparency

  The source code for our core components is open for inspection, providing a level of transparency that proprietary systems cannot match.

Our Curation & Management Process

As part of our managed service, we handle the entire lifecycle of these components so you don't have to.

Security & Hardening

We continuously track and update our components to protect them against threats:

• Rigorous Vetting

  Components go through a strict vetting process that includes investigating the supply chain of upstream projects and their dependencies.

• Vulnerability Management

  Components are continuously scanned for known vulnerabilities, and we apply patches in a timely, non-disruptive manner.

• Thorough Testing

  All components are extensively tested to ensure they meet our high standards for quality, performance, and security.

24/7 Operations

We keep the platform components running around the clock to ensure they are always available and performant.

• Monitoring & Observability

  We enhance components with deep observability features and expose this data to you through our observability services.

• Lifecycle Management

  We handle all updates, scaling, and maintenance for the platform components, freeing your team to focus on your applications.

• Comprehensive Documentation

  We provide clear documentation for each component, including how it's configured and how you can use it.

From Components to Services

These carefully curated components are the building blocks for our ecosystem of managed services. Each service is designed to solve a specific problem and work seamlessly with the others.
