Docking is the full-stack cloud platform for teams who need compute, storage, networking, and a firewall that trusts absolutely no one — including you. Built for scale. Priced for regret.
Everything you need to build something. We're not sure what. But it will be secure, it will be billed by the minute, and it will be named after a song you can't get out of your head.
Elastic virtual machines that autoscale to the beat. Choose from Nano, Standard, or our GPU-backed Saturday Night Fever tier for workloads that need to really move.
Three tiers: Dancing Queen (hot), Chiquitita (cool), and Waterloo (archive — once it's in, it's in. History repeats.).
A global backbone so bright, other clouds will need shades — and you'll need a bigger invoice. Low latency guaranteed within the same building.
Every rule defaults to deny. Including yours. Including admin. We don't inspect packets so much as reject the very concept of traffic.
Granular permissions so precise that nobody — including you, including us, including the account that created the account — can access anything at all.
Zero points of presence anywhere near your users, but the dashboard has excellent ambience. There was something to be alive for.
Conducts your containers like a disco orchestra: with enthusiasm, occasional timing issues, and a bill that keeps climbing regardless of tempo.
A managed Postgres/Mongo hybrid nobody requested. Send us an S.O.S. and we'll get back to you within one to fourteen business days.
Distributes traffic — and blame — equally across every available node, including nodes that don't exist yet.
Backups you will, eventually, need to explain to your mother, your board, and possibly a regulator, when the restore quietly fails.
Serverless compute with solidarity pricing: you are billed whether or not your function is ever invoked, because you are one of us now. There's no going back.
Generates confident, unsolicited insights in strict 4/4 time. Accuracy not guaranteed. Enthusiasm guaranteed.
Every product on Docking is watched around the clock by our independent Security Operations Center partner, Kinda. They're kind of watching. Kind of.
We named our regions after places with a famously relaxed relationship to certain substances, instead of something dreary like "us-east-1." You're welcome.

Every quote below is from a real Docking customer, or someone who sounded a lot like one.
We built Service A and Service B so that Service C could talk to Service C, through Service B, inside Service A. Nobody can explain why. The invoice, however, makes perfect sense.
Our Load Balancer now load-balances the traffic of our other Load Balancer's Load Balancer. We call it "the trinity." Support calls it "a support ticket."
We deployed One Of Us Functions to process zero events per day, because we liked the pricing model's commitment to solidarity. It has never once run. We have never once regretted it.
We use WAFv3 to deny all inbound traffic, including from our own office. It has dramatically improved our security posture and dramatically worsened our ability to do our jobs. Ten out of ten.
Our data lives in the Waterloo archive tier. We are aware that Waterloo is a reference to defeat. We have made peace with this.
We asked Thank You For The Music AI to summarize our Q3 numbers. It replied in verse. We have since promoted it to Head of Investor Relations.
Our sister service is officially open. GAPE is an interconnect platform spanning the gaping vastness of space and time — think "megaport," but considerably more existential. Peering available wherever the void permits.
"We haven't built anything yet. Budget's been allocated three times. We're calling that progress." — Elias Gaps, VP Unallocated Spend, GAPE
On the roadmap, in some order, eventually:
gape.co.nz — it exists now. Bring snacks.
