Tigera, the inventor and maintainer of open source Calico, delivers Calico Cloud, the next-generation cloud service for Kubernetes security and observability. Tigera's Kubernetes native service extends the declarative nature of Kubernetes to specify "security and observability as code," which ensures consistent enforcement of security policies and compliance and provides observability and troubleshooting across multi-cluster, multi-cloud and hybrid deployments. Tigera's solution is used by some of the world's leading companies, including AT&T, Bloomberg, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Robinhood, ServiceNow, and Visa.Project Calico is the most widely adopted solution for Kubernetes networking and security, powering 1M+ nodes daily across 166 countries. Calico is the only solution with a pluggable data plane architecture enabling support for multiple data planes, including standard Linux, eBPF, and Windows.

At Hack Capital, we work with seed-stage, high growth companies that rely on their ability to scale their operations and make data driven decisions in real time to be successful. These companies can spend years and hundreds of thousands of dollars in labour centralizing the data they need, in order to get ready for scale. We are improving the way these software companies operate by implementing systems of intelligence that are designed to help them do this properly from day one. We solve this by centralizing operational data using systems of intelligence that are designed to act like a member, or even a leader, on your team. Our AI is present at all times, learning along the way while helping to automate away low value tasks and answer critical questions wherever possible. This means your whole team spends more time shipping the features that your customers love and less time trying to wrangle data to make decisions.Technologies: - Node JS- Docker - Kubernetes- Vue / React - AWS ECS, EC2, Lambda, S3
