Zeet

Zeet is an integrated cloud operations platform that simplifies the complexities of modern software deployment and infrastructure management. Designed for Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), DevOps professionals, and developers, Zeet acts as a control plane over your existing cloud accounts and Kubernetes clusters. It streamlines the entire application lifecycle, from code commit to production deployment and monitoring, across multiple cloud providers like AWS, GCP, and more. By abstracting away the intricacies of Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines, Zeet enables teams to ship faster and more reliably, fostering a culture of developer self-service and operational excellence.

How to use Zeet

Getting started with Zeet is a straightforward process designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing workflow:

1. Connect Your Accounts: Begin by securely linking your cloud provider accounts (e.g., AWS, GCP, Linode, Coreweave) and your version control system (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) to the Zeet platform.
2. Choose a Deployment Method: You can create a new project from scratch or use Zeet's powerful 'Blueprints'. Blueprints are pre-packaged, reusable templates for common use cases like deploying a web service, a self-hosted database, or a serverless function. You can also bring your own Helm charts, Terraform modules, or Kubernetes manifests.
3. Deploy Your Application: Once your project is configured, Zeet's built-in CI/CD system takes over. It automatically builds your code, provisions the necessary infrastructure, configures networking and observability, and deploys your application to the target cluster.
4. Manage and Monitor: Use the central Zeet Dashboard to gain full visibility into your services. Here, you can view real-time logs and metrics, manage releases, configure auto-scaling, perform one-click rollbacks in case of a bad deploy, and access audit logs.
5. Iterate with Confidence: For ongoing development, simply push code changes to your repository. Zeet can automatically deploy these changes. Features like Preview Branches allow you to create ephemeral environments for every pull request, enabling thorough testing before merging to production.

Core Features of Zeet

• Integrated CI/CD: Robust, built-in continuous integration and deployment with features like auto-deploys from Git, manual deployment approvals, rolling updates, and automatic rollbacks.
• Infrastructure Blueprints: A library of pre-configured and customizable templates for deploying various types of applications and infrastructure, significantly reducing setup time.
• Multi-Cloud & Kubernetes Management: Deploy applications seamlessly across multiple cloud providers and manage all your Kubernetes clusters—whether imported or provisioned by Zeet—from a single interface.
• Developer Self-Service Dashboard: An intuitive dashboard that empowers developers to deploy, monitor, and manage their own services without needing deep expertise in Kubernetes or cloud infrastructure.
• Comprehensive Observability: Built-in logging, Prometheus metrics tracking, Datadog APM integration, and automated notifications for deployment status, build failures, and pod crashes.
• Security and Compliance: Features like Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), secure cloud account linking, and a system for managing secrets ensure your infrastructure remains secure and compliant.
• Advanced Networking: Automatic configuration of custom domains, SSL/TLS certificate auto-renewal, private service discovery, and optional CDN integration.
• API and CLI Access: For advanced automation and integration, Zeet provides a full-featured API and a command-line terminal (Zeet Terminal).

Use Cases for Zeet

Zeet is versatile and caters to a wide range of operational needs:

• Building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP): Companies use Zeet to create a standardized, self-service platform for their engineering teams, improving productivity and governance.
• ML/AI Infrastructure: Easily provision and manage GPU-intensive workloads for machine learning training and inference, scaling resources on-demand.
• Startups and Growing Teams: Allows startups to adopt cloud-native best practices from day one without hiring a large DevOps team, enabling them to focus on product development.
• Multi-Cloud Strategy: Enables organizations to run applications across different cloud providers to optimize for cost, performance, or redundancy, avoiding vendor lock-in.
• Migrating from PaaS (e.g., Heroku): Provides a clear migration path from simpler platforms to a more powerful and flexible Kubernetes-based environment on your own cloud, without the associated operational burden.

Advantages of Zeet

Zeet offers significant advantages over building an internal platform from scratch or using disparate tools:

• Reduced Complexity: It provides a user-friendly abstraction layer over powerful but complex technologies like Kubernetes.
• Increased Developer Velocity: By enabling self-service, it frees developers from infrastructure-related bottlenecks and allows them to ship code faster.
• Flexibility and Control: Combines the ease of use of a PaaS with the full power, control, and cost benefits of running on your own cloud infrastructure.
• Cost-Effective: Automates many of the manual tasks typically performed by expensive DevOps and SRE teams, leading to significant operational savings.
• Best Practices by Default: Security, observability, and deployment best practices are built into the platform, ensuring robust and reliable operations.

Pricing and Plans

Zeet operates on a freemium model. It offers a generous free tier that allows developers and small teams to deploy their first three services at no cost, which is ideal for testing the platform and for small projects. For larger teams and enterprises, Zeet provides custom-priced plans that include advanced features, enhanced support, and greater scalability to meet specific business needs.
