We have created open source technologies and software to simplify and streamline infrastructure implementation and ongoing management of hundreds of production-grade clusters including those for Boxed Wholesale and Fandor. * Enablement of your team - Here at Fairwinds we pride ourselves on "teaching you to fish" by sharing our expertise and best practices developed over the past 5 years. We offer human-to-human support and integrate with your team using Slack instead of slower, more process-heavy ticketing systems. According to Arun Jacob, Senior Vice President of Software at Zonar Systems, "Every step of the way, they've trained our team and increased our knowledge base, allowing us to focus on building services instead of maintaining infrastructure. Their support has been invaluable."* Open source expertise - Fairwinds has developed six leading open source tools that span deployment, operations and optimization of cloud-native infrastructure. These tools have been embraced by the community, with Fairwinds Polaris having received over a thousand GitHub stars. We create and curate great open source to deliver a proven, production-grade stack in your cloud environment.
