Raff Technologies

What Raff Technologies does

Raff Technologies is a US-based cloud infrastructure provider operating as Raff LLC from Vint Hill, Virginia, founded in early 2025 by Batuhan Esirger and Serdar Tekin. The company sells virtual machines and adjacent cloud services to developers, startups, SMBs, freelancers, and learners through a fully self-serve product-led model with no sales interaction required. Its core product, Raff VM, runs on AMD EPYC processors with DDR5 ECC memory and distributed NVMe SSD storage atop the company's own Kubernetes infrastructure, differentiated by dedicated vCPU threads, unmetered 3 Gbps bandwidth, and a 99.9% uptime SLA. As of mid-2026, Raff had expanded its portfolio to include Windows VMs (via Microsoft SPLA), S3-compatible object storage, Managed Kubernetes, a one-click application marketplace, and managed databases in beta.

The business model is predominantly subscription-based VM hosting priced from $3.99 to $63.99 per month across General Purpose and CPU-Optimized tiers, with usage-based overages for additional block storage ($0.10/GB/month) and snapshot or backup storage ($0.05/GB/month). Annual billing offers a 17% discount and 24-month billing a 25% discount. Raff reports 10,000+ operational VMs serving 3,000+ customers, 15,000+ cumulative VM deployments, and 99.965% uptime since launch in May 2025, supported by SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-customer through the web dashboard, REST API, CLI, and official Terraform provider, with no channel partners, resellers, or marketplace listings. Marketing is content-led and developer-focused via the Raff Learn hub, blog, and SEO-optimized comparison pages rather than paid advertising.
