Servala - The Cloud Native Service Hub Built for Sovereignty and Choice

We’re proud to announce the public launch of Servala - Open Cloud Native Service Hub that redefines how organizations consume, deliver, and operate modern software across cloud environments.

Servala is the platform where DevOps teams, cloud providers, and software vendors meet to build the next generation of cloud native applications. Designed for sovereign cloud, flexibility, and compliance-first deployment, Servala simplifies the delivery of managed services with transparency, portability, and speed.

What is Servala?

Servala is a vendor-neutral, Kubernetes-native platform that connects businesses with a growing catalog of trusted, fully managed cloud native services - databases, developer tools, identity management solutions, platforms, and more.

Whether you’re building internal developer platforms, offering commercial SaaS products, or migrating to sovereign infrastructure, Servala provides the foundation to:

  • Run services on any cloud - public, private, or on-premises

  • Automate provisioning and lifecycle with self-service APIs

  • Maintain compliance with GDPR, ISO 27001, and ISAE 3402

  • Avoid vendor lock-in through open standards and transparent pricing

Why Servala? Key Benefits

Servala was created to solve real-world challenges in cloud-native service delivery:

Open & Interoperable

Sovereign & Multi-Cloud Ready

Choose the infrastructure that fits your security and data residency needs - choose from our list of Cloud Providers like Exoscale, Swiss-Based Cloud Servers - For Developers Who Care, VSHN Managed OpenShift, APPUiO, or your own private cloud.

DevOps-Friendly

Fully Kubernetes-integrated with native Helm, CRDs, GitOps support, and Crossplane for self-service provisioning.

Compliance-First Architecture

Security and data protection built in from day one - ideal for regulated industries and European data requirements.

A Unified Marketplace of Managed Services

At launch, Servala features a curated set of ready-to-use services, such as:

  • PostgreSQL - Open-source, fully managed relational database

  • Forgejo - Lightweight Git service for collaborative development

  • Keycloak - Secure identity and access management

  • Red Hat OpenShift - Enterprise Kubernetes application platform

These are delivered across trusted infrastructure providers:

For Software Vendors, Cloud Providers & Enterprises

For Software Vendors

Turn existing applications into scalable SaaS offerings with managed operations, seamless onboarding, and automated delivery.

For Cloud Providers

Expand your marketplace with value-added services your customers can launch instantly with Kubernetes-native interfaces.

For Enterprises

Access verified, secure services to build your internal developer platforms or production systems - without building everything from scratch.

Standardizing Cloud Native SaaS Delivery

Servala is not just a marketplace - it's a movement. We're leading an initiative to create open standards for cloud native SaaS applications, making service delivery predictable and scalable.

The Servala Standard Includes:

  • OCI-compliant packaging & Helm chart structures

  • Unified backup/restore, metrics, logging, and alerting

  • Transparent SLAs, maintenance windows, and billing formats

  • Kubernetes-native APIs and Crossplane XRDs for automation

We're launching a consortium to develop these standards together with cloud providers, software vendors, and enterprises. Join us to help define the future of cloud native software delivery.
