What is QNix

QNix is a private, encrypted, multi-tenant Kubernetes platform — built from scratch by Quadstronaut over sixteen weeks and ~1,080 commits. It exists because Starhold needed infrastructure that takes privacy seriously at every layer, not as an afterthought.

In development

QNix is the platform I am building, and these pages are its design notes. It is not yet open to customers. The architecture, tenancy and security pages describe how it is meant to work; the build chronicle covers how it got this far.

What it’s built to do

• Encryption everywhere. Traffic between users and the cluster is TLS-terminated. Traffic between nodes is kernel-level WireGuard — no plaintext leaves the box. Data at rest uses per-tenant keys the platform itself cannot read.
• Hard tenant isolation. Each tenant runs in its own Kubernetes control plane (vCluster). Your environment cannot touch another’s, and the platform cannot decrypt your data.
• Sleep-wake economics. Apps scale to zero when idle and wake on the first request — with a real progress bar, not a 5xx. Reserved capacity only when you need it.

Coming soon as a hosted offering

QNix is being opened as a hosted platform. If you want a private, encrypted environment for your own apps without operating the infrastructure yourself, join the waitlist.
