Giant Swarm GmbH is a managed platform engineering company providing Kubernetes infrastructure and developer platform solutions for enterprise organisations, built on 100% open source components.
Giant Swarm GmbH, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Cologne, Germany, operates as a managed platform engineering company serving enterprise organizations across Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. The company specialises in providing Kubernetes infrastructure and developer platform solutions, drawing on over a decade of production experience across more than 150 production clusters.
At the core of its offering is a curated platform engineering stack that encompasses Kubernetes cluster management, observability, security, networking, AI infrastructure, and application management. Built entirely on open source components, the platform runs within customers' own environments to ensure full data sovereignty. It is CNCF AI-Conformance Certified, and its design reflects the company's active contributions to the Cluster API ecosystem and the broader cloud-native community.

Giant Swarm operates as a fully remote organisation and focuses on empowering platform teams within the enterprises it serves.
