About Us
Learn more about our mission and team
Our Story
KenchLightyear is now an AI-first company, leveraging advanced artificial intelligence to drive business transformation. While AI is our primary focus, we continue to support Kubernetes environments—including tools like k8sgpt—and implement modern GitOps practices for reliable, automated infrastructure and application management. Our experience across industries ensures we deliver technology that helps every company stay competitive and future-ready.
The biggest challenge for growing companies is cost, and developing companies don't yet have the luxury to spend large amounts upfront. We are here to provide you with the most affordable services that are at par, if not better, with what is being used by Enterprise companies.
Our Mission
To democratize AI-driven technology solutions, making them accessible and affordable for businesses of all sizes. We believe every company deserves world-class AI and cloud-native infrastructure, with the reliability and automation of GitOps, without the enterprise price tag.
We specialize in helping US businesses outsource their IT operations—covering everything from cloud migration and security to ongoing support—so you can focus on growth while we handle your technology needs.
While we are AI-first, we are equally capable of delivering traditional IT solutions and support for clients who need it.
Our Approach
We combine deep AI and cloud expertise with a practical understanding of business needs. Our approach focuses on:
- AI-First Solutions: Harnessing artificial intelligence for smarter, faster outcomes
- Kubernetes & GitOps: Supporting modern cloud-native and automated operations
- Open Source Excellence: Leveraging proven open source solutions
- Security First: Building security into every solution
- Knowledge Transfer: Empowering your team for sustainable success
