# Shuttle

> Shuttle is a Rust-native cloud platform that lets developers ship backends without writing infrastructure files. You annotate what you need in code - a database, secrets, a web server - and Shuttle provisions it and deploys to the cloud. Founded in 2019 and shaped by Y Combinator's Summer 2020 batch, the company is now repositioning as an 'AI platform engineer' that handles the deployment step where AI coding tools like Cursor, Copilot and Lovable leave off. It has drawn more than 20,000 developers and over 120,000 deployments, and raised a $6M seed round in October 2025.

- **Founded:** 2019
- **Headquarters:** London, United Kingdom
- **Founders:** Nodar Daneliya (Founder & CEO), Christos Hadjiaslanis (Co-founder)
- **Team size:** ~12-22 employees
- **Products:** Shuttle Cloud Platform, Infrastructure from Code, Framework Support, AI Platform Engineer (in development)
- **Notable:** Crossed 20,000 developers and 120,000+ deployments, Raised $6M seed led by Y Combinator in October 2025, Backed by former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke and Segment co-founder Calvin French-Owen

## Products & services

- **Shuttle Cloud Platform** — A Rust-native cloud platform that provisions databases, secrets, and other resources from code annotations and deploys backends to the cloud with zero config files.
- **Infrastructure from Code** — Resource macros and annotations in Rust that translate function signatures into provisioned cloud infrastructure - no Dockerfiles or Terraform required.
- **Framework Support** — First-class support for Rust web frameworks including Axum, Actix Web, Rocket, and Warp, with integrations for PostgreSQL, SQLx, and Qdrant.
- **AI Platform Engineer (in development)** — An agentic interface that assesses deployment options, presents infrastructure with pricing, and lets users provision databases and buy cloud hosting through natural-language prompts.
