Moving to the cloud and edge comes with big rewards such as new use-cases and business opportunities. But how to efficiently build cloud and edge applications can be a confusing journey, mainly due to the lack of managed platforms that unifies Developer Experience (DX), ZeroOps Experience, and a Reactive Runtime. With Kalix, we set out to create a powerful PaaS that addresses these challenges for the cloud-to-edge continuum. An API PaaS that enables any developer with any language to build high-performance, data-centric applications without the complexity that often slows down engineering teams.
