# Building the future of cloud computing

Years of working with founders and digital teams taught us one thing — they need to focus on **building**, not managing infrastructure. That's why we created Raff.

***

## Why we started Raff

After years in the cloud industry, we saw digital teams struggling with the same problem: **juggling 5–10 different services** just to run their business. One vendor for compute, another for database, another for email, another for object storage, another for queues, and so on. Each one with its own dashboard, its own billing model, its own auth system, its own quirks.

We founded Raff to solve this — **one platform** where builders can deploy, store, communicate, automate, and ship AI features without managing multiple vendors.

We're building for builders who want to focus on their product, not their infrastructure.

> **Start simple, add what you need, never outgrow us. One platform, one partner.**

If you want to see the model in action, the fastest path is [creating a VM](/products/build/virtual-machines/quickstart-guides/create-a-vm) — five minutes from sign-up to a Linux or Windows server you fully control.

***

## Our mission

We give digital teams one platform to build their entire business — **compute, data, email, automation, and AI** — without juggling multiple vendors.

## Our vision

To be **the platform digital businesses choose to grow with** — from first server to full-scale operation.

***

## The Raff ecosystem

One platform for digital teams. Everything you need to build, store, communicate, automate, and deploy AI — under one account, one bill, one API.

## Not your traditional cloud provider

Four things we do differently from the big-three pattern:

|                             | What it means                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **AI-powered operations**   | We use AI throughout our development and operations workflows — from incident triage to documentation to code review. The savings show up in our pricing                                                                       |
| **Efficient by design**     | Streamlined workflows reduce costs without compromising quality. Fewer layers, fewer middlemen, fewer vendors-billing-vendors                                                                                                  |
| **Performance obsessed**    | Every decision prioritizes performance — NVMe SSD across every storage class, jumbo-frame VPC underlays, low-latency regional infrastructure. Our own dashboard runs on the same hardware you'd buy                            |
| **Fair pricing philosophy** | Transparent, sustainable pricing. The number on the [pricing page](/products/build/virtual-machines/details/pricing) is what you pay — no hidden egress for same-region traffic, no per-API-call fees, no "talk to sales" tier |

You're already running on us, by the way: when you read these docs, click the dashboard, see a marketplace image, or get a billing invoice — it's all served from the same VMs, Volumes, and Object Storage buckets you can buy. The platform is its own biggest customer.
