Overview
We have worked together for a decade to build and operationalize cloud infrastructure services for customers that included startups, scale-ups, enterprises, and service providers. Chkk's inspiration came from our time at AWS, where, as an EKS engineer, Fawad Khaliq saw firsthand how errors, disruptions, and failures in Kubernetes environments were repeated across customers-- especially in the customer-owned platform layers--with no way for them to learn from each other. At the same time, Ali Khayam and Awais Nemat were operating network infrastructure services that had an "always available, no downtime" expectation. Ali and Awais experienced firsthand how vital to availability a proactive approach is for mission-critical services running one of the biggest infrastructure footprints on the planet.
