We help customers innovate faster by reshaping how applications are built and connected to their DBs. Quesma database gateway enables development teams to modernize and evolve application architecture. Modernizing the core of the application stack - the database - is hard. Companies are locked to old, ineffective, costly DB platforms and are scared of trying something new due to enormous risk, increased interim cost and never-ending push for innovation. We want to make their life easier by finishing the microservice revolution in DB realm: un-bundle clients app stack from the DB engine by introducing a smart DB gateway/proxy in between.

FlexAI is building the next generation of AI cloud infrastructure, one that is software defined and optimized for modern AI workloads. As the era of raw GPU deployments gives way to platform driven AI infrastructure, FlexAI provides the foundation for the next phase of scalable AI systems. The platform is powered by our foundational layer built on Cloud Foundry, while the FlexAI Cloud Services layer provides a unified control plane that enables developers and enterprises to run AI inference and fine tuning across any cloud, accelerator, or data center without managing infrastructure complexity. With FlexAI, startups deploy securely and cost effectively in hyperscaler and neocloud environments, neocloud providers transform GPU clusters into scalable AI factories, and enterprises power governed private AI clouds. By decoupling AI workloads from the underlying hardware, FlexAI enables organizations to deploy AI faster, improve compute efficiency, and avoid vendor lock in.
