What Stacklet does

Stacklet is a cloud governance platform provider founded in 2020 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. The company commercializes the Cloud Custodian open-source project, a CNCF-governed cloud governance engine with more than 500 million downloads, 500+ contributors, and over ten years of community development. Stacklet's product portfolio comprises Cloud Custodian (the open-source policy-as-code engine), AssetDB (a real-time cloud asset inventory that automatically discovers and updates resources across accounts and regions), Jun0 (an agentic AI platform that autonomously discovers, fixes, and prevents cloud operations, cost, and security issues through policy-as-code enforcement), IaC Governance (infrastructure-as-code policy enforcement at build and runtime), and an MCP Server that extends FinOps and security governance capabilities into the agentic AI ecosystem via the Model Context Protocol.

Stacklet serves enterprise buyers across CloudOps, FinOps, and Security & Compliance functions in multi-cloud environments running on AWS, Azure, and GCP. Named customers include Capital One, FactSet, Boeing, Eli Lilly, Palo Alto Networks, Wayfair, Genesys, American Airlines, 7-Eleven, Capital Group, Wiley, Avalara, REPAY, and ETS, with $7 billion-plus in cloud spend under management. The company reports customer outcomes of up to 50% cloud-bill reduction, 6x faster time to savings and compliance, 80% less time on governance reporting, 10x faster policy implementation, and 500%+ ROI within the first few months for some accounts.

The business model is a quote-based enterprise subscription with annual billing cadence, distributed primarily through direct enterprise sales supported by a community-led growth motion from the Cloud Custodian open-source project. Marketing and distribution channels include the Cloud Custodian community, content marketing (blog, resource library, FinOps book), virtual workshops, AWS Summit events, and customer case studies. Stacklet has raised approximately $36.5 million across a 2020 seed, 2021 Series A, and 2024 Series B, and in 2026 joined the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) as a Silver Member. The company employs 11-50 people and is privately held.

Direct peers

• Wiz: Wiz is a leading cloud security platform (CNAPP) offering agentless cloud misconfiguration, compliance, and posture management across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. It overlaps with Stacklet's security/compliance and multi-cloud governance capabilities, though Wiz is positioned as a broader platform play.
• Orca Security: Orca Security provides agentless cloud security and compliance posture management for multi-cloud environments. It directly competes with Stacklet's security and compliance governance capabilities and targets a similar enterprise buyer (cloud security teams).
• Sysdig: Sysdig offers cloud security and monitoring with CNAPP, runtime threat detection, and compliance capabilities. It competes with Stacklet in cloud security and compliance and shares overlap in policy-as-code and runtime enforcement use cases.
• Lacework: Lacework is a cloud security platform providing CSPM, CWPP, threat detection, and compliance for AWS, Azure, and GCP. It is a direct peer in cloud security posture management and competes for similar security and compliance buyers.
• Spot by NetApp: Spot by NetApp provides FinOps and cloud cost optimization, including automated scaling, spot-instance management, and waste reduction across AWS, Azure, and GCP. It is a direct peer in the FinOps and cloud cost governance category where Stacklet also competes.

Broad incumbents

• Palo Alto Networks (Prisma Cloud): Palo Alto Networks' Prisma Cloud is a comprehensive CNAPP covering CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, DSPM, and cloud network security. It is a broad incumbent competing with Stacklet across cloud security, compliance, and policy-as-code enforcement, with substantially more enterprise reach.
• CloudHealth by VMware (Broadcom): CloudHealth is an established FinOps and multi-cloud management platform for cost visibility, optimization, and governance. It is a broad incumbent competing with Stacklet's FinOps and cost-optimization capabilities at large enterprises.
• Apptio (IBM): Apptio, owned by IBM, provides cloud cost management, FinOps, and IT financial planning tools. It is a broad incumbent in FinOps adjacent to Stacklet's cost optimization and cloud spend governance capabilities.

Emerging players

• Firefly: Firefly provides cloud asset inventory, IaC governance, and policy-as-code enforcement for cloud and AI infrastructure. It is an emerging peer directly comparable to Stacklet's AssetDB and IaC Governance modules.
• Vanta: Vanta automates compliance audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, etc.) and provides continuous compliance monitoring, including cloud configuration checks. It is an emerging peer in the compliance and governance automation space where Stacklet also operates.
