About Scalix
Scalix World is building the cloud platform for AI applications. One API key, one credit pool — database, AI inference, serverless functions, storage, and auth, all in one place.
Company
Scalix World Pvt Ltd (India, CIN U72100KL2026PTC102006) and Energy FW Ltd (UK, Company No. 14600160) — two independent companies, not parent-subsidiary. IP owned by the India entity with an exclusive license to the UK entity for international markets.
Founders
Kiran Ravi (CEO) and Akhil (CTO) — building from Kerala, India and London, UK.
Technology
The platform is built in Rust (22 crates, ~3,000 tests) with a React + TypeScript console. ScalixNova, our serverless PostgreSQL engine, has its own storage engine with a durable WAL, database branching, and query firewall. All running on dedicated EU infrastructure we operate ourselves — no cloud reseller margin.
Stage
Scalix Cloud is in public beta. DPIIT-recognized startup (Certificate DIPP264841).
How Scalix is built
Most platforms resell other providers' services, with a margin added at every layer. We engineered ours from the ground up — in Rust — and run them on dedicated infrastructure we operate. When something fails, we fix it at the engine level, not through a vendor's support queue.
ScalixNova storage engine
Streams WAL to object storage through Paxos-style WAL keepers. Cold restore after node loss, branching at any LSN, point-in-time recovery — verified on production hardware.
MicroVM functions runtime
MicroVMs orchestrated by the Scalix node agent — hardware-level isolation for every invocation, not shared containers.
Unified Rust gateway
A single binary handles IAM, billing enforcement, WAF, AI crawler control, and automatic SSL. Every request follows one code path we fully control.
Fleet control plane
Machines bootstrap with one-time tokens exchanged for X.509 certificates from the platform CA. mTLS throughout, with every fleet operation audited.
AI inference routing
Scalix models behind one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, with intelligent routing, per-token metering, and tier-based access control.
Dedicated-server economics
Dedicated EU infrastructure instead of hyperscaler resale. The result: object storage at $0.021/GB and free ingress.
22 Rust crates. ~3,000 tests. One workspace.
Recent releases
ScalixNova storage proven end-to-end
WAL to object storage, cold restore after node loss, branch at any LSN, and PITR — all verified on production hardware.
Scalix Shield launched
AI crawler control at the gateway: allow, block, or rate-limit 43 known AI crawlers, with IP-range verification and generated robots.txt.
Automatic SSL for custom domains
Certificates ordered, installed, and renewed automatically — DNS-01 issuance with auto-renewal 30 days before expiry.
Scalix Search shipped
A provenance-aware index of original sources, built for agents that need to cite where information actually came from.
