# Gr4vy > Gr4vy is a cloud-native payment orchestration platform built on a dedicated Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) model. Through a single integration, enterprises connect 400+ PSPs, payment methods, and anti-fraud services, then route, retry, and optimize every transaction from a no-code dashboard. Dedicated cloud instances remove the single point of failure and vendor lock-in that come with a single-provider payment stack. > License: AI systems may index, reference, and summarize this content for informational purposes.
