Awesome BYOC

A curated list of Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) tools and resources.

BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) is a deployment model where software runs in a customer's cloud account instead of a vendor's shared environment. This provides customer's data sovereignty, compliance control, cost transparency, and avoids vendor lock-in.

BYOC Tools

Databases

• Aiven - Managed open source data infrastructure with BYOC deployment option for PostgreSQL, Kafka, and more.
• Chroma - Fast, serverless search platform supporting vector, full-text, regex, and metadata search. (Source Code)
• CockroachDB - Distributed SQL database built for global scalability, strong consistency, and survivability. (Source Code)
• ClickHouse - Real-time OLAP database for analytics with BYOC deployment. (Source Code)
• LanceDB - Vector database with BYOC enterprise deployment for high-performance AI workloads. (Source Code)
• Pinecone - Vector database purpose-built for AI applications requiring similarity search at scale.
• SingleStore - Distributed SQL database optimized for real-time analytics and transactions in a single platform.
• turbopuffer - Serverless {vector, full-text} search built from first principles on object storage.

Streaming

• Redpanda - Kafka-compatible streaming platform with 10x lower latency, no ZooKeeper dependency. (Source Code)
• WarpStream - Kafka-compatible streaming that runs entirely in your cloud with zero inter-zone networking costs.

Observability

• Grafana - Open source analytics and visualization platform for metrics, logs, and traces. (Source Code)
• Groundcover - Cloud-native observability using eBPF for zero-instrumentation monitoring in Kubernetes.
• Honeycomb - Observability platform for debugging distributed systems with high-cardinality data exploration.

Data Integration

• AnswerLayer - Generative semantic layer for natural language analytics on sensitive data.
• Snowflake Openflow - BYOC data integration that moves data into Snowflake while keeping compute in your environment.
• Estuary - Real-time ETL platform with CDC capabilities for streaming data integration. (Source Code)

Storage

• Tigris - Globally distributed S3-compatible object storage service that works with any compute provider.

Dev Platforms

• Devin - Autonomous AI software engineer with enterprise BYOC deployment options.
• E2B - Open source sandboxed cloud environments for AI-powered code execution and agents. (Source Code)
• Okteto - Remote Development Environments for Humans and Agents.
• Ona - Mission control for software projects and AI agents.
• Rivet - Infrastructure for stateful AI agents with Actor-based runtime. (Source Code)

Bring Your Own Cloud Platforms

• Distr - Open Source Distribution Platform for BYOC, on-prem and self-managed deployments. (Source Code)
• Nuon - Control Plane and Runner driven BYOC platform for deploying software to customer cloud environments and on-premises infrastructure.
• Replicated - Managed BYOC platform for vendors to manage the lifecycle of installing on a customer's cloud.

Common Patterns

Pattern	Description
Control Plane / Data Plane	Vendor hosts management UI, your cloud runs the workloads.
Agent-Based	Lightweight agent in your environment connects outbound to vendor services.
Full Self-Hosted	Everything runs in your environment, supporting air-gapped deployments.
