Brazilian public cloud infrastructure built on OpenStack and Kubernetes
Magalu Cloud operates a public cloud platform engineered in-house using OpenStack, Kubernetes, and containerization (Docker, LXD), backed by a polyglot stack of Python, Go, Rust, and TypeScript. The company is engineering-led with 9 of 12 active roles in engineering, and their project roadmap centers on control-plane maturity, core API development, and platform stability — reflecting the infrastructure-heavy work needed to compete with AWS, GCP, and Azure in a Brazilian market context.
