Your software was built for AWS. It doesn't have to run on AWS.

Spinifex recreates the AWS services your software already uses, on infrastructure you control. Move workloads off the hyperscalers, run AI at a fraction of the cost, or take the cloud to the edge. Without rewriting a line.

Our flagship product is called Spinifex.
The Spinifex stack

The AWS stack for AI, compute, and storage. On infrastructure you own.

Train and serve AI on GPUs, run your compute, and keep data in S3-compatible object storage, all with the same Terraform and AWS SDKs your team already deploys with. The exact build you ship to AWS, Spinifex serves on your own infrastructure. Nothing rewritten, nothing re-platformed. Same EC2, EBS, S3, VPC, and IAM APIs, running on hardware you own, at the edge, or on a Neocloud partner, with full sovereignty over your data, your keys, and your jurisdiction.

How is this useful?

One product. Two reasons it's useful.

You either want a workload off the hyperscalers, or you want it somewhere AWS can't reach.

Your software was built for AWS. That doesn't mean you're stuck in AWS.

How it works

The cloud you know, running where you put it.

Same APIs

Nothing to rewrite

Spinifex speaks EC2, S3, EBS and VPC. Your code, the AWS CLI, the SDKs, and Terraform all just keep working.

Your infrastructure

Run it anywhere

On a Neocloud partner. On your own racks. On a box at the edge. One platform, three deployment shapes.

Open core

Yours to keep

AGPL-licensed and auditable. You can read it, run it, contribute to it. And you'll never be locked out of the platform you depend on.

Engineering depth

We didn't copy the API. We rebuilt the engineering underneath it.

Most AWS alternatives wrap an API and call it a cloud. We engineered the parts that are actually hard: distributed object storage with erasure coding, block storage built to survive failure, compute on bare metal. That depth is the reason your software runs unchanged, instead of rewritten.

Object storage

Distributed, erasure-coded

Reed-Solomon erasure coding across nodes. Durability without paying 3× for replicas. Built to lose disks and shrug.

Block storage

Built to survive failure

EBS-shaped volumes that keep serving when a node drops out. Snapshots, attach / detach, growable. Without re-architecting.

Compute

Bare metal, not a tax

EC2-compatible instances on the metal you own: hypervisor and container runtime, no abstraction layer eating performance.

AWS compatibility

Speak the AWS API surface, natively.

AWS SDK, AWS CLI, Terraform: everything you deploy on AWS deploys on Spinifex unchanged. At the edge, on-premise, or on a partner Neocloud.

Who we help

One product. Different people, different reasons.

Spinifex sits underneath the same goal for everyone: run AWS software on infrastructure you control. How that helps depends on who you are.

Where it shows up

Same engine. Wherever the work actually runs.

Every sector has workloads that can't simply live in a hyperscaler region, whether for cost, sovereignty, or because the work doesn't happen anywhere near a data centre.

Deployments

Three deployment shapes. One AWS-compatible surface.

Pick the deployment that matches your reality. The platform on top is the same.

Why teams use it

Every other way off AWS makes you rewrite, re-platform, or stay tethered.

Spinifex is the one that doesn't. The software you run today is the software you keep. You change where it runs, not what it is.

Free hosted sandbox

Try Spinifex with one of your own workloads.

Point your AWS CLI or Terraform at a hosted Spinifex environment and watch your own software run. No install, no card. Under 60 seconds.
