Tell us how your story began. What was the inflection point that made you realize this could become a serious business, not just an idea?
Our story began with our CTO, Rade Despodovski, while he was working at a service-based IT company. He noticed a repeating pattern: every new project was starting from scratch, but the infrastructure requirements were almost always the same. This sparked a simple yet powerful idea — what if we could templatize infrastructure and launch projects faster, with less overhead and fewer errors?
That idea quickly evolved into a prototype. As more teams showed interest and the time savings became undeniable, we realized this wasn’t just an internal tool — it had the potential to change how DevOps was done across the industry. The inflection point came when early customers started replacing their custom scripts and manual pipelines with our automation engine. That’s when we knew: this wasn’t just an idea — it was a business ready to scale.
Share a little-known fact about your industry, product, or market that would surprise most people.
“Most companies spend over 30% of their cloud budget on resources they don’t actually use.”
In the world of DevOps and cloud infrastructure, this inefficiency often goes unnoticed — especially in fast-scaling teams. That’s why platforms like Microtica AI are game changers: by automating infrastructure analysis and optimizing usage with AI Agents, we help teams cut waste, speed up delivery, and gain visibility where it matters most.
