Question 1

What is Levyer?

Accepted Answer

Levyer is a platform that gives organisations the freedom to build software on their own terms — secure, compliant, independent, and built to last. It provides a single foundation to govern how software is built, where it runs, who controls it, and what it costs. Every application built on Levyer is portable by design with no dependency on any specific cloud provider or infrastructure service.

Question 2

Who is Levyer for?

Accepted Answer

Levyer is for organisations that want structural independence from vendors and central control over their software estate. It serves leadership, operations, and engineering teams who need a unified platform for cost management, security governance, compliance enforcement, and deployment flexibility across any infrastructure.

Question 3

How is Levyer different from Kubernetes?

Accepted Answer

Levyer sits a layer above Kubernetes — it is an application platform, not an orchestrator. Kubernetes can be one of the deployment targets underneath Levyer, alongside bare servers, Docker hosts, or cloud-managed runtimes. Where Kubernetes manages containers and workload scheduling, Levyer gives you a complete application layer: how software is structured, how it communicates, how it is secured, deployed, governed, and observed. Your team writes business logic; Levyer handles everything from the application model downwards, including the choice of infrastructure underneath.

Question 4

Why does Levyer use WebAssembly?

Accepted Answer

WebAssembly gives Levyer four properties no other runtime combines at once. Security by design: every module runs in a strict sandbox with capability-based access control — nothing is reachable unless explicitly granted. Language-agnostic: WebAssembly is a compilation target for most major languages, so teams work in the language that suits them. Interface-first contracts: modules communicate through typed interface definitions (WASI/WIT), making integrations explicit and versionable. Tiny and portable: Wasm modules are compact, start in milliseconds, and run identically across cloud, on-premise, edge, and local environments — with no runtime dependency or infrastructure assumption.

Question 5

Can Levyer run on AWS, on-prem, and hybrid setups?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Levyer runs on any major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, and others), on-premise in private data centres, on single servers for small-scale deployments, and in hybrid configurations combining cloud and on-premise. Switching between deployment targets is a platform configuration change — no application code is ever affected.

Question 6

What stage is Levyer at today?

Accepted Answer

Levyer is currently pre-launch and onboarding its first design partners. The architecture and model shown here describe the platform being built with early adopters. We're working closely with organisations to refine the platform based on real-world use cases before general availability.
