Managed Kubernetes on bare metal in Germany. ~50% cheaper than AWS.
Predictable monthly costs, dedicated hardware, and an SRE team that gets paged at 3 AM so you don't.
2 SRE days per €5,000/month. No separate consulting fee. SRE time is built into the same price as your hardware and management. Not ticket-queue hours. Staff-level engineers who know your stack.
If Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Kafka, or any component in our stack breaks at 3 AM, our on-call engineer fixes it. We own the platform, you own the application.
We handle the full migration: cluster design, hardware provisioning, workload migration, and cutover. 4–6 weeks from order to production-ready cluster, then phased migration at your pace. Your existing infrastructure stays live until you are confident.
There are four ways to run infrastructure, from fully managed cloud to owning your own hardware. We sit at the point where you stop paying cloud prices but don't need to hire a DevOps team.
A production-grade Kubernetes cluster on dedicated bare-metal servers, primarily hosted in Hetzner's German data centres. Cilium networking, Mayastor and ZFS storage, a full Grafana/Prometheus/Loki observability stack, and an SRE team embedded in your workflow.
We have been building and operating this stack since Kubernetes 1.0, for SaaS platforms, IoT telemetry pipelines, and data processing workloads. One client told us their investors said "just use AWS, don't think about infra." They think about infrastructure even less now.
"I tell people we moved off AWS, but that doesn't really capture it. We got a team that built us custom tooling, migrated our databases, deployed a private network, and responds on Slack within hours. AWS doesn't offer that at any price."
~ Tim McEwan, CTO, The Climate Risk Group
"We couldn't find anyone else offering the combination of engineering time, on-call SLA, and infrastructure that Lithus
provides. Instead of just migrating our infrastructure, they solved problems we'd been
struggling with for months, without us having to hire additional staff."
~ Keith Brink, Founder, PrepBusiness
"Our latencies halved when we moved to Lithus, and our costs haven't changed in two years. We don't think about infrastructure anymore."
~ Toby Hammond, CEO, Futurepump
"Having Lithus onboard has been invaluable.
Their expertise and flexibility have given us the ability to
tackle increasingly complex projects without having to
hire. We punch above our weight, in no small part because of Lithus."
~ Samson Sahmland-Bowling, CEO, Open Energy Labs
Plus ClickHouse, MongoDB, TimescaleDB, Sentry, KubeVirt, and more. We adopt whatever your workload needs.
Engagements start at €5,000/month. Dedicated hardware, full infrastructure stack, and an embedded SRE team. Billing starts when your workloads are running.
