Appvia

Appvia's story began when its founding team, including current CEO Jon Shanks and COO Jay Keshur, first collaborated while working with the UK's Home Office. Their mission was to revolutionize the way the Home Office delivered digital services. Drawing upon their deep expertise in software engineering, they embarked on creating a new system designed to harness the full potential of Kubernetes. This initiative proved to be a remarkable success, leading to significant cost reductions across the projects it was implemented on and laying the groundwork for what Appvia would become.

Established in 2017, Appvia was born from this experience and a clear vision: to simplify the complexities of cloud-native technologies for organizations of all sizes. The company dedicates itself to building a robust cloud infrastructure layer that empowers platform engineering teams to manage, monitor, and update their systems with ease. Simultaneously, Appvia provides developers with the flexibility to deploy applications in the cloud seamlessly and efficiently. Their core belief is that organizations should be able to innovate and scale without being bogged down by the intricacies of infrastructure management. Appvia's solutions, such as their flagship product Wayfinder, are designed to make Kubernetes secure, cost-effective, and scalable, enabling clients like the Bank of England and Ralph Lauren to confidently embrace cloud-native approaches and accelerate their digital transformation journeys. The company has steadily grown, expanding its team and establishing a presence in both the UK and the USA, driven by a commitment to helping businesses unlock the true power of the cloud.
