AI infrastructure · AI services

The intelligence layer for the cloud you already run.

Stratus5 runs multi-tenant cloud platforms for hosting providers, regulated enterprises and AI teams. We added an operator brain on top, and a model gateway underneath, so the whole stack runs itself.

The shift

We used to host the cloud. Now we run the brain on top of it.

The hard part of a hosting platform stopped being the servers years ago. It became the decisions. Which host is flapping, which deploy broke billing, which customer is about to churn from a slow site. So we put AI where the senior operator used to sit, and gave every team the same gateway to build on.

The platform

One cloud automation foundation

Provision, deploy and operate a multi-tenant fleet across providers from a single API. Buy it on its own, or let Aether drive it for you.

Infrastructure Manager

Run one fleet across multiple clouds and your own bare metal, addressed through a single API.

  • Multi-cloud provisioning across OVH and Hetzner, with bare metal alongside
  • Node lifecycle and Ansible runs through the hostess2 provisioning plane
  • Workload placement, right-sizing and capacity planning per region
  • 11 regions, 14 hosts and 11 server farms under one inventory
  • Per-workload cost visibility, so you see spend before it lands

Product Delivery Engine

API-first deploys into dedicated, per-customer environments that you can template and clone.

  • Nested workspaces and customers, fully multi-tenant from the first deploy
  • Blueprint templates for WordPress and custom apps, deployed in minutes
  • Full site lifecycle: deploy, start, stop, restart and undeploy via REST
  • Environment variables, deploy tags and resource limits per site
  • Clone any environment to stand up the next customer instantly

Operations Suite

The day-two work of running a platform, instrumented and watched around the clock.

  • Monitoring wired to Prometheus, Grafana and Zabbix across 58 hosts
  • DNS and routing through Nettle, with per-account zones and routers
  • Certificate management and auto-cert, plus a fleet-wide expiry watch
  • Per-site backups and snapshot inventory you can restore from
  • Patch management and domain administration in one console
Private preview

Aether.
The control plane that thinks.

Ask why a customer's site is flapping and get the answer, not another dashboard to read. Aether watches the whole fleet, ties incidents back to the deploy that caused them and proposes the fix. It operates Stratus5 the way a senior engineer would, and it never sleeps.

Plain-language ops

Question your live fleet in English, answered from real projected state.

Root-cause diagnosis

Correlates deploys, metrics and incidents to find the actual cause.

Dry-run by default

Shows the exact change before anything touches production.

Tenant isolation

Hard scoping on every call, so a customer sees only their own corner.

Learns your fleet

Runbooks and past incidents feed a retrieval brain that gets wiser.

MCP and chat

Drive it from a console, or from Claude and Cursor over MCP.

The product suite

One umbrella, a full product suite

Stratus5 builds and runs its own AI products on the exact infrastructure it sells. Each works on its own, and they share the same encrypted vault and provider registry underneath.

Ringside
v2 live

The model gateway

An OpenAI-compatible API in front of 19 providers. Point your code at one endpoint and switch models without a rewrite.

  • One endpoint, 19 providers, wire-compatible with the OpenAI SDKs
  • The Customer object: per-end-user budget, rate limit and billing
  • Chat, embeddings, images, audio, files and batch in one surface
  • Provider keys sealed per user with AES-256-GCM
Ambassador
live

The edge proxy cluster

A centralized Envoy edge that replaces a reverse proxy per site, with central TLS and traffic control for the whole fleet.

  • Dynamic xDS routing managed by a Go control plane
  • Automatic Let's Encrypt issuance across every site
  • Rate limiting and DDoS mitigation at the edge
  • Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards built in
Knockout
beta

The coding agent, unlocked

From one command, ko reads your codebase and ships a fix that passes your tests. Use any model for any step.

  • 19+ providers, swapped per step, with no vendor lock-in
  • Composable multi-step pipelines with per-step model and tools
  • A skill store with 30+ installable capabilities
  • Source encrypted on your machine, processed in memory, then zeroed

Monitoring that diagnoses

It goes past up or down. CheckMySite watches for the failures traditional monitoring misses, then tells you why.

  • Detects content changes, defacement and redirect hijacking
  • An AI triage step diagnoses, a consultant proposes the fix
  • Multi-region checks from independent vantage points
  • White-label, so resellers run it under their own brand
Fight Club
live

Two models argue, you decide

Put GPT against Claude on a real question and watch them pull each other's reasoning apart. The disagreement is the signal.

  • Six fight modes and 25 engagement styles
  • Live transcripts over SSE, with per-fight document RAG
  • AI summaries, user-authored reports and PDF export
  • A public feed to publish, vote and clone fights
Dollie
live

Managed WordPress, automated

A WordPress platform that runs a dedicated environment per customer, built on the Stratus5 delivery engine.

  • Laravel core with a Filament admin and a full API
  • A WordPress SDK and plugin for deep integration
  • Blueprint deploys and a clone-per-customer model
  • Per-site backups and routing handled by the platform
TarPit.pro
live

The honeypot that wastes attackers

A single Go binary that poses as 80+ services, slows attackers to a crawl and bans them before your EDR even notices.

  • 80+ believable service banners with intelligent tarpitting
  • Attack classification and geo-location on every hit
  • An AI call decides a permanent or 24-hour ban
  • Bans propagate across your whole server fleet
secretStore
live

Zero-knowledge secrets vault

The vault every Stratus5 service seals into. Credentials are encrypted before they reach the server, so the server can't read them.

  • Envelope encryption with per-tenant data keys
  • Machine credentials for unattended service boot
  • Emergency-kit recovery, nothing stored in cleartext
  • One source for admin keys, provider secrets and MQ creds

Resell a multi-cloud platform under your own brand, with per-customer isolation and Aether on the pager.

Fintech & regulated

Tenant isolation, audit trails and EU data residency, from the team that delivered for AIB and Deutsche Bank.

WordPress & agencies

Blueprint deploys and clone-per-client environments, the way Dollie runs its platform on us today.

AI & ML teams

GPU workloads, self-hosted LLMs and a model gateway, the stack behind MLGym's private AI compute.

Stratus5 platformautomation

Provisioning, delivery and operations across the fleet.

Ringside + Ambassadormodels + edge

19 LLM providers behind one API, and a central Envoy edge in front.

Multi-cloudOVH · Hetzner · bare metal

11 regions, 14 hosts, your own metal where you want it.

Security & compliance

Secure by construction, not by checklist

Built by a team with an MSc in network security and 25 years in production. Every listening port carries TLS and auth, and credentials never sit on disk in the clear.

mTLS between services

Internal traffic is mutually authenticated, so a leaked endpoint isn't a way in.

Vaulted credentials

secretStore seals admin keys and provider secrets at rest, fetched at boot, never cleartext.

Two-wall tenant isolation

Cross-tenant access is blocked at the platform's own RBAC and again at Aether's filter.

AES-256-GCM at rest

Per-user keys derived with scrypt and Argon2id, with the pepper held outside the database.

Audited writes

Every change is attributed, logged and previewed as a dry run before it can touch production.

EU data residency

Hosted on EU OVH and Hetzner regions, with no third-country data path by default.
