Managed databases and data services

Your team moves fast. Your databases and data-related services should, too. a9s Data Services are available as a bundle or standalone services to give developers a self-service, automated way to run scalable data systems in Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes environments.

No long waits. No manual VM management. Just dedicated platform data services that streamline provisioning, lifecycle operations, and maintenance while letting you stay in control.

What are a9s Data Services?

a9s Data Services give you ready-to-go databases, message queues, caches, search engines, and observability tools without the usual operational overhead. They’re provisioned on-demand, run on VMs, and integrate seamlessly with Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, or hybrid setups.

Provision, scale, and update your services through automation without having to build and operate your own automation layer. Scaling actions are automated once initiated by application developers or platform operators, giving you flexibility without surprises.

Pick your services and go live

Klutch, our open-source control plane, bridges VM-based services and Kubernetes-native workflows so you can manage hybrid platforms with consistency. Find out about the advanced features tailored to the needs of organizations.

Streamline VM-based data service operations without the headaches

a9s Data Services remove the operational burden of managing virtual machines for stateful platform services. Built on BOSH, they automate provisioning and lifecycle tasks like patching, backups, and updates. Use them with Cloud Foundry or integrate them into Kubernetes via Klutch without giving up control.

What you get

Lifecycle automation

VM provisioning, updates, and backups are fully automated; offload tasks like patching, backups, failover readiness.

Developer self-service

Provision services using a CLI (e.g. cf create-service) without waiting on PlatformOps.

Consistent performance

Benefit from isolation, persistence, and dedicated resources.

Platform-agnostic

Runs across Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes via Klutch, and hybrid environments.

Enterprise-ready

Built for high availability, compliance, and reliability.

Automatic backup plans

Data protection is built-in from day one.

How it works for application developers

(Hint: You still have control, we just reduce the manual work.)

Platform data services should work with you—not against you. a9s Data Services are designed to simplify the full data service lifecycle. You trigger deployments and scaling actions; automation handles the rest. Choose from fully managed options like PostgreSQL, Valkey, OpenSearch, MariaDB and more.

Pick your services

Choose from fully managed options like PostgreSQL, Valkey, OpenSearch, MariaDB and more.

Deploy

Provisioning a data service instance is as simple as running a CLI command

Scale

Need more capacity? Initiate scaling and automation handles the execution.

Stay up-to-date

Patches and updates are automatically applied, typically with minimal downtime.

Handle limits gracefully

Built-in safety mechanisms pause services that exceed resource limits to protect your platform from cascading issues.

Monitor with fewer Ops tasks

Built-in monitoring gives users visibility into data service performance and health. a9s Data Services make it easier to act on insights with triggers for automated processes.

No more managing data services the old way
