Overview
Managed Kubernetes-compatible clusters where every pod gets its own nest. Includes the Mother Hen controller, which makes sure no pod is left behind.
NestKube is part of our Cloud & Infrastructure line, and it plays nicely with Brooder and FreeRange Functions, so you can adopt it one perch at a time. Store, serve, and scale from a coop that never needs mucking out.
Teams usually start with the free Chick plan, move to Hen when the flock grows past a handful, and graduate to Rooster once the security team wants audit logs. The upgrade is one click, and nobody needs to molt.
Key features
- Billing is metered per peck, and you can see every peck in the console.
- Automatic failover to a healthy hen when a node stops laying.
- NestKube scales horizontally by hatching new nodes in under nine seconds.
- Terraform, Pulumi, and plain old shell scripts all work. Even the scripts that scratch the dirt.
- A status page that crows when there is an incident, not after.

What the flock says
Does exactly what it says. Rare enough that we put it in the all-hands deck.
Setup took one afternoon, and the only thing we scratched was our heads, briefly.
NestKube paid for itself the first week. Then it paid for the second week, too. Strange.
Frequently asked questions
Can I try NestKube for free?
Yes. Every software product has a Chick plan that never expires, plus a 30-day trial of Hen, no credit card required. Just a firm, honest handshake with a wing.
What happens if I cancel?
You can export all of your data in open formats, and we keep a copy for 30 days in case you change your mind. We do not hold your eggs hostage.
How often is NestKube updated?
Every two weeks, on a Tuesday, shortly after the rooster crows. Release notes live in the changelog.
