About Us

Hi there! We are Andreas and Michael Wittig, the two founders behind bucketAV.

Where to begin ...

Our journey started in 2009, when we joined forces as software developers and agile deployment enthusiasts.

The first three years of our work together led us to revolutionize the finance industry, by migrating the entire infrastructure of Tullius Walden Bank to AWS.

This was a first in the finance industry (at least in Germany) and it made us realize what our mission should have been:

Helping both midsize and enterprise businesses in accelerating their cloud journey.

Since then, we have been contributing to the Open Source community with consultations, blog updates and even bestselling books like Amazon Web Services in Action and Rapid Docker on AWS.

But it is not only that ...

We are enthusiastic entrepreneurs building software products like bucketAV.

bucketAV is the antivirus solution for Amazon S3 started as an open-source project in 2015.

And after 5 years and more than 25 releases, it became one of the fastest and most easy-to-use solutions to protect your S3 buckets from trojans, viruses, ransomware, and malware.

bucketAV has been available on the AWS Marketplace since 2019, where it is now a top-rated antivirus with 1000+ satisfied customers.

In 2024, bucketAV added support for Cloudflare R2 to protect your R2 buckets from trojans, viruses, ransomware, and malware.

Besides bucketAV, we are building HyperEnv - a solution to deploy self-hosted GitHub runners on AWS, attachmentAV - a solution to protect Jira, Confluence, Salesforece, and WordPress from malware, and marbot - a solution to monitor AWS.
