One platform. A growing family of infrastructure products.
What we are building
Infrastructure products that share one platform instead of each building their own.
Most infrastructure tools make you sign in again, set up users again, and manage secrets again. Takelan builds those shared parts once, as a platform, and lets each product use them.
ShadowCradle, our backup and disaster recovery appliance, is live. All ShadowCradle customers can connect to the Takelan platform with one switch. The link is optional.
VCradle and Firecradle are in development. They use the same cloud control plane and the same platform pattern.
Platform
Shared identity, documents, customers, secrets, feature flags and uptime.
ShadowCradle

VCradle + Firecradle
