Zerops, a Platform-as-a-Service startup redesigning cloud architecture, has raised a $2 million seed round led by Gi21 Capital.
Zerops removes the separation between development and production environments, a long-standing flaw in cloud architecture that causes deployment failures for developers and AI coding agents alike. It creates a unified environment where applications behave identically from development through to production, enabling reliable deployments from the start.
On Zerops, there are no environment tiers; applications run within a single project where code behaves the same way, regardless of scale. This means developers build, test, and deploy in genuinely identical conditions, eliminating an entire category of deployment failures. Because the infrastructure is consistent from the start, deploying a production-ready system requires a single click, not weeks of configuration.
Zerops is built on its own bare-metal infrastructure, with data centres across Europe and the United States, enabling cost efficiencies that make it up to four times cheaper than legacy platforms.
It runs applications in full Linux containers, not restricted app containers, giving developers the same level of access as on their own machines, including real-time visibility and control over running processes.
