About gridscale
gridscale is a cloud computing platform based in Germany. It covers the usual building blocks: virtual servers, managed Kubernetes, load balancers and object storage, plus managed databases including Postgres, Microsoft SQL, MariaDB, MySQL and Redis, which can run as a cache or as storage. Managed NFS servers are available as well, which helps when data has to be shared between Kubernetes nodes.
