A cloud named after a river of stars.
Eridan is a short, memorable name for a cloud platform or infrastructure venture — drawn from Eridanus, the celestial river that winds across the night sky. A name about flow, scale and continuity, ready to build on.
What Eridan means
Eridanus is one of the largest constellations in the sky — pictured since antiquity as a great river of stars pouring across the heavens. In Greek myth it is the river into which Phaethon fell after losing control of the sun's chariot. Its brightest star, Achernar, marks the river's end.
A river is a near-perfect metaphor for the cloud: constant flow, current and continuity — data and compute streaming without pause. Eridan trims that ancient name to a crisp, ownable, easy-to-say brand.
