Tailored startup benefits

Cloud credits, engineering support, and infrastructure assistance for early-stage teams.

Built in the Netherlands

Run Kubernetes, databases, and VMs in Dutch datacenters with full GDPR compliance.

Developer-first platform

APIs, Terraform, and self-service provisioning — the infrastructure experience your team expects.

Cloud infrastructure that keeps up with your runway

Early-stage teams need reliable, scalable infrastructure without enterprise sales cycles or surprise bills. Our startup program helps NL-based companies get production-ready on Thalassa Cloud faster — with cloud credits, engineering support, and hands-on infrastructure assistance.

Cloud credits & platform access

Use benefits towards Kubernetes clusters, virtual machines, managed PostgreSQL, object storage, and other platform services as your product grows.

Engineering support & onboarding

Work directly with our engineers on architecture, Terraform setup, and best practices — so your team spends less time on infrastructure plumbing.

Infrastructure assistance

Get help designing, deploying, and operating your cloud infrastructure — from first cluster to production workloads.

European from day one

Keep data in the Netherlands under EU jurisdiction. Ideal for startups building products for regulated industries or privacy-conscious customers.

Self-service speed

Provision clusters and infrastructure in minutes through the Console, API, or Terraform — no ticket queues for basic resources.

Scale without lock-in

Standard Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, and S3-compatible APIs mean you can grow on Thalassa Cloud without betting your architecture on proprietary tooling.

Transparent pricing

Per-minute billing in euros with no hidden fees. Use our cost calculator to estimate workloads before you commit.
