Syself Worldwide Distribution

Reduced Complexity

Everything is provisioned and managed directly within Kubernetes. No need for additional cloud storage.

Fast Query Execution

Fast Query Execution

Local NVMe storage allows databases to handle millions of queries per second without bottlenecks.

Coins

Cost Effective

Avoid the high expenses of managed database services while retaining full control over the database stack.

European Clouds

European Cloud

Data sovereignty and GDPR compliance are ensured by running databases in certified European data centers.

Traditional cloud block storage introduces network overhead, making database queries slower and less predictable. Managed database services come with high costs, proprietary restrictions, and limited customization options.

A New Era for

Databases on Kubernetes

Syself brings managed database services natively into Kubernetes, combining the ease of cloud-managed databases with the performance and control of running on your own infrastructure, allowing users to run databases on bare metal servers with direct disk access. By eliminating the need for external services, we reduce latency, avoid vendor lock-in, and dramatically cut costs — all while keeping your data close and your operations fully Kubernetes-native.

Syself ensures that Kubernetes operators manage replication, failover, backups, and automated scaling, regardless of which database technology is being used. And it does it all using native Kubernetes APIs.

How Syself Integrates Local Storage into Kubernetes

Syself’s local storage solution enables seamless integration between bare metal servers and Kubernetes-native persistent storage. The technology behind it leverages TopoLVM, a Kubernetes-native logical volume manager that automates volume provisioning and allocation across available disks.

nvme-hardware

Syself makes local storage a first-class citizen in Kubernetes, rather than treating storage as an external component.

Disks Growing Horizontally

Storage Volumes Are Dynamically Managed

Kubernetes can automatically provision and bind local volumes as needed, ensuring efficient storage management for diverse workloads.

Frame of Server Disks

Data Integrity Is Maintained

If a node goes down, Syself ensures that workloads are rescheduled, and the database operator rebalances the data across available nodes.

Kubernetes Clusters Growing

Clusters Can Scale

New nodes are dynamically integrated into the storage fabric. This ensures that capacity scales with demand without sacrificing performance.

Ensuring High Availability and Reliability

One of the biggest concerns when running databases on local storage is maintaining high availability and data durability. Syself tackles this challenge by leveraging Kubernetes-native database operators, enabling databases to stay resilient even under high demand in mission-critical environments.

Automated Recovery & Failover

If a node goes offline, Syself ensures that workloads are rescheduled while the database operator seamlessly rebalances the data.

Zero-Downtime Upgrades

Database updates are performed through rolling upgrades, preventing service disruptions.

Persistent Volume Recognition

When replacing a failed node, Syself automatically reattaches its original storage volume, preventing data loss and unnecessary rebalancing.
