Product - Fresh Cloud
Fresh Cloud was the hosting layer for Fresh Labs products and member websites. Built on Kubernetes for fast, efficient scaling, it ran as a separate platform until 2023 when it was folded into FreshStore.

What it does
Fresh Cloud was built to replace an older setup based on physical servers. It used Kubernetes to host both Fresh Labs products and the websites running on top of them, which made scaling and resource allocation much smoother than the previous model.
The APIs that came out of building Fresh Cloud also fed back into the rest of the stack, letting the team build better member-facing interfaces on top of the hosting layer.
Status today
Fresh Cloud ran as a standalone platform for a couple of years. In 2023 it was merged into FreshStore so that creating an affiliate store and hosting it became one product rather than two. The underlying Kubernetes infrastructure is still in use, just no longer surfaced as a separate offering.
