Ubicloud

Excited to read StartupReporter's new article! (Sasha) Komarevych and I talked about startups, Y Combinator, Sovereign AI, and Star Wars. I know I should have kept the interview on topic and focused on our EuroGPT Enterprise launch. I don't know how I ended up with my favorite scene from Star Wars. The interview talks about my journey from Amazon to Ubicloud, how Umur and I co-founded Citus Data and Ubicloud, and what we learned along the way. It also talks about why we think Sovereign AI is a big deal. https://lnkd.in/eZSWDx2k Any comments or feedback are more than welcome as usual! Please chime in below.

Today, we are excited to announce transparent caching for GitHub Actions! This feature improves your GitHub Actions cacheDocker layer caching performance by 4x. You can enable it by clicking a button on the Ubicloud UI. Transparent caching gives you immense flexibility when using Ubicloud’s runners. You can switch in and out of Ubicloud’s runners without making any changes to your workflow files. You can run your CI/CD pipelines in a matrix configuration across GitHub’s default runners and Ubicloud to evaluate their price / performance. To make evaluating Ubicloud easier, we also provide 30 GB of free cache size per week with the transparent caching feature. At 3x of GitHub’s default cache size, 30 GB is the highest free cache size in the industry.

We've been quietly working on Ubicloud APIs for months now. As of yesterday, all Ubicloud API requests and responses are checked against an OpenAPI schema. We also have 100% branch coverage on routes. Plus, it's all open source. Huge thanks to Daniel Farina and Wesley Beary for this! A small (final) commit for the Ubicloud codebase, a big leap for having solid APIs.

Excited to announce #EuroGPT for businesses at Slush! The first open source AI service in the world to our knowledge. Today, businesses in Europe need to use proprietary AI chat applications that offer limited transparency or control. Also, their data gets transferred to the US, making them lose jurisdiction over this data. EuroGPT solves these challenges and more. Key benefits include: * transparency, flexibility, and control - runs on Ubicloud's open source stack and uses Llama 3.1 405B, * over data that fully stays in Europe, * with the option to keep your knowledge base private, * and at 1/3rd the price of comparable solutions. If you’re an EU business looking for an open source and privacy conscious alternative, please hit us up! We’d love to talk. https://lnkd.in/eXmuZ4MF

We're excited to announce our new AI cloud service at Slush on Thursday! The key ingredients include "private AI in public infrastructure", Europe 🇪🇺, and open source. If you'd like to learn more, come say hi to us at our booth. We're in I11, right across from the start-up cafe. This will also be our first time in Helsinki. We hear it's lovely this time of year. :) So, if you'd like to talk to Ozgun Erdogan, Benjamin Satzger, or Ekin Akar, we'd be more than happy to meet!

Such a privilege to have Jeremy Evans join our team! We've been big fans and users of many of Jeremy's open source work in Ruby -- not just currently at Ubicloud, but for many years at Citus Data, and earlier: #Roda, #Rodauth, #Sequel and others. Welcome Jeremy! #opensource

We're excited to announce our partnership with Lantern! With this partnership, our customers get four wins: * Deep PostgreSQL and AI expertise from two Y Combinator companies * A way to build RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) AI apps * Better price/performance than comparable proprietary solutions - Lantern's blog post talks more about this * Available to you on the cloud, at the click of a button

As Ubicloud, we’re excited to sponsor the Cloud Hypervisor and net-ssh projects! As AWS, Azure, and GCP pour in hundreds of thousands of dollars in GPU credits to start-ups, we feel that key open source projects are getting left behind. For those projects that have been thanklessly maintained over the years, even small amounts can make a difference. Fortunately, my co-founder Daniel Farina is great at highlighting those. Just yesterday, I saw that Cloud Hypervisor merged in a change to enable Ubicloud sponsored arm64 runners (link in comments). It put a smile on my face. We might not be making the billions in revenue that AWS is making today, but we certainly have an open source ethos. So, thank you all open source maintainers who have been contributing to our digital infrastructure for years! #opensource

Excited to announce managed ParadeDB on Ubicloud!

Ubicloud is LIVE on Product Hunt today! https://lnkd.in/emxrPhcd 37signals introduced Kamal to deploy web apps anywhere. Today, we are launching Kamal + Ubicloud - so that you can deploy web apps through a DNS-integrated elastic load balancer, VMs, and managed PostgreSQL. With open source. Without breaking the bank.
