About Liftr Insights

The public cloud market and its investors currently lack transparency due to cloud providers’ intense desire to keep competitive trade secrets and outdated survey-based data gathering methods. This means that suppliers and investors aren’t aware of new deployments of instance types and their locations which significantly impacts investment decisions. 

At Liftr Insights, we create that transparency through a unique approach, using DevOps to enumerate Internet-attached infrastructure and provide market intelligence as a platform for technology investors and public cloud stakeholders. 

Liftr Cloud Components Tracker

With the Liftr Cloud Components Tracker, Liftr Insights enumerates the public service offerings at the top four public cloud providers (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud) so that suppliers, investors, and other businesses can make informed financial decisions about the cloud. Our customers receive a monthly report identifying the prices, configurations, and components of all IaaS and bare metal compute instances deployed by the cloud service providers we track. Liftr Insights is based in Austin, Texas.
