Building the Internet for AI

Datum is a neutral, programmable middle layer where companies can programmatically connect without building the entire stack themselves.

Why Datum?

AI is changing everything — not just how we work and create, but how quickly new applications, agents, and even clouds are being built. Digital leaders today must orchestrate a complex, fragmented web of clouds, specialty providers, customers, and data. With Datum, cloud and AI-native builders can use the tools they love (like Cursor or a Kubernetes native CLI) to access the internet superpowers that today’s tech giants leverage at scale: authoritative DNS, distributed proxies, global backbones, deterministic routing, cloud on-ramps, and private interconnection.

Fully Programmable

Developer- and agent-friendly protocols, interfaces, and workflows with programmatic interconnection between providers and services

Kubernetes Native

Built using Kubernetes API patterns for operator tooling and familiarity with kubectl, Helm, and the entire ecosystem

Neutral by Design

No allegiance to a single cloud, vendor, or region. Operates as a trusted, independent layer for alt clouds and enterprises

Bring Your Own Infra

Use Datum’s cloud control plane with its global network, or run components in your own cloud or infrastructure

Key Features

Declarative Management

Datum works just like Kubernetes. Define your desired infrastructure state and our components reconcile the system to match

Workloads

Provider-agnostic way to manage groups of compute instances with placement rules, scaling, and network attachments

Networks

Manage VPC Networks, Subnets, IP Address Management (IPAM), and network policy concepts across providers

Gateways

Leverage the Kubernetes Gateway API to define how traffic connects to your services with TLS and routing logic

Organizations & Projects

Built-in resource hierarchy with automated personal organization provisioning and quota management

Infrastructure Plugins

Extend Datum with provider-specific plugins for GCP, AWS, and custom infrastructure providers
