What Cloud Technology does

Cloud Technology (Yunqi Technology, 云器科技), incorporated in 2021 in Hangzhou, China as 杭州云之重器科技有限公司, is a private multi-cloud data infrastructure provider whose flagship product is Yunqi Lakehouse — a cloud-native lakehouse platform built on a proprietary Single-Engine architecture and Generic Incremental Computing (GIC) technology. The Single-Engine design unifies batch processing, stream computing, and interactive analysis in a single C++-vectorized SQL engine operating on Apache Iceberg open lakehouse storage, claiming to break the traditional "impossible triangle" of data freshness, query performance, and cost with reported benchmarks of 10x performance vs. Spark and 9.84x vs. Trino, alongside 50%-90% total cost reduction. The company is a major code contributor to Apache Iceberg C++ (70%+ of 0.1.0 and 66% of 0.2.0) and offers the platform in two deployment modes: a fully managed SaaS Cloud version on Alibaba Cloud Shanghai and AWS Singapore (priced at ¥3.5/CRU-hour, ¥0.12/GiB-month, ¥0.8/GB transfer) and a self-managed Software version (license plus support contract) for VPC and on-premise environments.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led growth (open self-serve registration with free trial credits), enterprise field sales (consultation booking and dedicated account management), and distribution through cloud marketplaces including AWS Marketplace, Tencent Cloud Marketplace, and Volcano Engine Marketplace. Named enterprise customers span internet platforms (Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu), automotive/telematics (Changan Automobile), SaaS CRM (Neocrm/销售易), logistics (NinjaVan), video collaboration (MediaTrack/分秒帧), B2B SaaS/education (Kuxuan/酷渲科技), and travel tech (Atlas Singapore), with documented case-study outcomes including 3x query performance improvement, 60%+ storage and compute cost reduction, and architecture complexity reduced to one-third. The company has raised over USD 100 million cumulatively across angel, Series A (Vision+ Capital and Qiming Venture Partners, 2023), and Series B (ALC Capital, February 2026), and is extending the core platform with AI capabilities including AI Gateway (OpenAI-compatible multi-LLM routing across Doubao, Qwen, and DeepSeek), Data Engineering Agent, Analytics Agent (DataGPT), MCP Server, and cz-cli, positioning Yunqi as an integrated data + AI infrastructure layer for enterprise customers.

Core offering

Yunqi Technology (Cloud Technology / 云器科技) develops and sells a multi-cloud lakehouse data platform — Yunqi Lakehouse (云器Lakehouse) — built on a proprietary Single-Engine architecture and Generic Incremental Computing (GIC). The platform unifies batch processing, streaming, and interactive analysis in a single SQL engine on open Apache Iceberg storage, available as a fully managed SaaS on Alibaba Cloud/AWS/Tencent Cloud/Volcano Engine or as a self-managed enterprise software deployment.

Product overview

Cloud Technology (云器科技) offers a multi-cloud integrated Lakehouse platform as its core product, consisting of 云器Lakehouse (the primary unified data platform), with two deployment variants: Cloud (full-managed SaaS on Alibaba Cloud/AWS) and Software (self-managed on private cloud/VPC). The platform is powered by a Single-Engine architecture based on proprietary incremental computation technology that unifies batch processing, streaming, and interactive analysis in one engine. The product portfolio includes AI Gateway for multi-model LLM access, Analytics Agent (DataGPT) for conversational data analysis, Data Engineering Agent for AI-powered data DevOps, MCP Server for AI agent tool access, and cz-cli for natural language data engineering. The company targets enterprise digital transformation across automotive, B2B SaaS, and general data infrastructure use cases.
