# Introduction

YaK is a framework developed by [dbi services](https://www.dbi-services.com) that allows anyone to deploy any type of [component](/yak-user-doc/introduction/yak-components.md) on any platform, while ensuring quality, best practices and reducing deployment time.

YaK originated from the need expressed by consultants and clients of [dbi services](https://www.dbi-services.com) for an automated solution to ease the deployment of multi-technology infrastructures in the Cloud and on-premises, as quickly as possible, with as little effort as possible, in order to reduce time-to-market.
