About Giant Swarm
Giant Swarm is a curated platform engineering stack for enterprises.
Giant Swarm provides a curated platform engineering stack designed to help enterprises build and manage internal developer platforms. The core offering is a managed Kubernetes service that runs on AWS, Azure, and on-premise environments, enabling hybrid and multi-cloud strategies. The platform is built on a foundation of battle-tested open-source components, including Cilium for networking, Kyverno for policy management, and Flux for GitOps. Giant Swarm emphasizes a partnership model, offering direct access to its engineering team for support, rather than a traditional ticketing system. Key capabilities include unified observability, enterprise-grade security, and a specialized AI infrastructure solution with GPU optimization. The product is aimed at platform engineering teams looking to accelerate developer velocity, enforce standards, and reduce the operational burden of managing complex cloud-native infrastructure. Pricing is not publicly available and requires sales contact.
