About us
At levv, we're reimagining cloud computing for a sustainable future.
Born from the insights of a cloud engineer and a data specialist, levv emerged as a response to a paradox in the tech world: cloud computing, despite its many advantages, had evolved into a complex ecosystem with significant environmental impact.
Curious about our name? levv (pronounced /lɛv/) is our playful nod to 'light' in Portuguese. Just like our cloud solutions, we keep things light and breezy!
Our Vision
We believe the future of the digital ecosystem lies not in constant acceleration or the endless pursuit of new features. While others add layers of complexity that burden both developers and the planet, we choose a different path. We believe in conscious, measured progress.
By choosing efficient solutions over feature bloat, we free developers from the stress of endless configurations - because a lighter cloud means lighter minds, and that's where creativity truly flourishes.
Our Impact
Our approach to cloud computing isn't just about being light and easy - it's about making a serious impact.
We achieve this through:
- Pioneering real-time ecological footprint monitoring
- Sustainable urban data using no water and up to 80% less electricity
- Creating social value by using our heat to warm up social residencies
- A steward-ownership model that ensures our long-term commitment to impact
