We forge
software that moves
markets.

Lucksmith is a code & design forge in Bogel near Nastätten, Rhein-Lahn district: software, online shops, hosting, AI, design and hardware. For 12 years we have been building, running and automating digital products — for companies in Koblenz, Wiesbaden, Limburg and well beyond.

CIAB.IO

Managed Kubernetes from 10 EUR a month — in German data centres.

We run our projects ourselves — on our own Kubernetes clusters in German data centres, not at a hyperscaler. Prices start at 10 EUR a month for a single container and go up to 10,000 EUR a month for a highly available cluster; billing is monthly.

What that means in practice: your data stays in Germany and falls under the GDPR, there is one contact for development and operations, and the environment is tailored to the stack in use rather than to a kit. Migrating existing applications and taking over their operation are part of it.

We commit to 99% availability and response times between 4 and 24 hours, depending on the agreed service level. We are reachable 8 hours a day on working days. The minimum term is 12 months; anyone who wants to try it out first gets a proof of concept over 3 months.
