How long does a platform assessment take, and who runs it?

Thirty minutes with a senior platform engineer — not an SDR. They'll walk your current cluster topology, identify which of the 11 fragmented dashboards you can collapse, and sketch a migration path to PsychoK.

What does PsychoK actually replace in our stack?

On average, customers replace 11 separate Kubernetes dashboards, 4 layers of YAML templating, and their ad-hoc chaos-testing scripts with one opinionated control plane — typically a 4.2x reduction in cluster tooling spend within 90 days.

How does pricing compare to Datadog or New Relic for Kubernetes monitoring?

PsychoK caps at $0.04 per pod-hour. That's 38% cheaper than Datadog's Kubernetes monitoring and 61% cheaper than New Relic at equivalent ingest volumes, based on published list pricing as of early 2025.

Is PsychoK compliant with SOC 2 and HIPAA?

PsychoK holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, and the platform is HIPAA-aligned (not certified). We have passed three consecutive third-party penetration tests by Cure53, Trail of Bits, and NCC Group.

k8s operations platform · v4.2

Industrial-strength Kubernetes operations.

The control plane for teams who treat Kubernetes as production infrastructure, not a science project. We replace 11 fragmented dashboards and 4 YAML pyramids with one opinionated operating system — so your engineers ship features on Friday, not debug etcd.

Capped ingest pricing

A hard ceiling on per-pod-hour pricing — 38% cheaper than Datadog K8s monitoring and 61% cheaper than New Relic at equivalent ingest.

3-year customer retention

Industry benchmark for infrastructure software sits at 71%. We keep 94% — because the platform quietly compounds value year over year.

Before PsychoK: Friday deploys that became Sunday incidents.

Eleven dashboards that disagreed on the same pod count. Four YAML pyramids that no one person fully owned. An etcd quorum that started flapping at 02:47 and held the on-call hostage until 06:12. A postmortem culture that produced beautiful documents and no follow-through. A FinOps ticket queue that grew faster than the engineering roadmap. The platform team — six people, serving eighty — stopped shipping features and started translating between tools. Sound familiar?

PsychoK exists for the engineer who got into this work to move product, not to maintain a museum of bespoke operators. We collapse the surface area. We encode the opinions. We hand you one console, one CLI, one set of runbooks — and we get out of the way.

chaosk · in-house

Fault injection that ships in production.

ChaosK runs continuous chaos drills against customer clusters — node failures, AZ partitions, etcd leader loss, control-plane degradation. In 2024 alone it recovered 14,028 simulated node failures before any customer noticed them. Not a weekend game-day. The default operating mode.

catalog · curated

2,100+ Helm charts, refreshed every 6 hours.

Every chart is vetted for CVE exposure, license hygiene, and upstream maintenance signal before it lands in the index. ArgoCD ApplicationSets reference the catalog by semantic version — no more "works on my cluster" surprises after a bump.

economics · capped

$0.04 per pod-hour. Period.

Pricing is hard-capped so the FinOps conversation stops being adversarial. Same telemetry volume, line item goes down. Engineers stop rationing cardinality to dodge the invoice.
