Cut your Kubernetes costs by 70%
Loft's, virtual Kubernetes clusters help you consolidate workloads in fewer clusters and sleep mode turns these virtual clusters off whenever they are not being used saving 70% of the cost.
Virtual clusters run on top of the same Kubernetes cluster, so they can share the same platform stack.
Standalone clusters are expensive. vclusters are super lightweight (1 pod), consume very few resources,
and run on any Kubernetes cluster without requiring privileged access to the underlying cluster.
Loft's, virtual Kubernetes clusters help you consolidate workloads in fewer clusters and sleep mode turns these virtual clusters off whenever they are not being used saving 70% of the cost.
We had more than 100 clusters to manage, and the cost of running 100+ EKS clusters 24x7 was very high. With our new multi-tenant EKS architecture based on Loft, we can now spin up one lightweight virtual cluster per customer. And we can manage virtual clusters across different clusters and even across cloud platforms using Loft.”

You’re not coding in your sleep,
so, why is your dev environment running?
75% of the time, your dev environments run without being used
A week has 7x24 hours (= 168 hours) and your engineers work 40 hours per week. That means for 128 hours per week, an engineer isn’t working!
Which is how you can save over 70% of infrastructure cost–by turning dev workloads off when engineers are not working, i.e. every night, when they are on vacation, when they are sick, even when they are in meetings.
Sleep Mode turns things off when you’re not working
With sleep mode, you put idle namespaces or virtual clusters go to sleep automatically when nobody is using them, and they automatically wake up once anyone needs them again.
