00About

We didn't like the cloud.
So we wrote a manifesto.

MNFST started in a Berlin coworking space in early 2022. Six engineers, all veterans of the cloud and CDN world, sat down with a single question: what would a cloud built today actually look like?

01Manifesto

Six principles.
Zero compromises.

01
Declare. Don't click.

Every primitive is one YAML away. Clicks are a fallback, not the path.

02
No hidden meters.

Egress, IOPS, snapshots — line items printed before launch, not after the bill.

03
Open by default.

Kubernetes-compatible API. No proprietary SDKs that hold you hostage.

04
Fast over fancy.

We ship Postgres before we ship a logo update. Engineers first.

05
Tier III+ or nothing.

Every PoP runs on certified, fully redundant facilities. No exceptions.

06
Cheap is a feature.

$0.99 VMs are not a marketing trick. They're the floor of an honest pricing model.
