The Missing Database Layer for Your Internal Developer Platform
Give developers a database in minutes, not a Jira ticket. Self-service provisioning, golden paths, and cost guardrails — fully integrated with Backstage, Crossplane, or your custom portal.
Why Most IDPs Fail at Storage
Your platform automates Kubernetes deployments perfectly — until someone needs a database.
The "Stateless" Trap
Most platforms automate Kubernetes deployments perfectly but fail when an app needs a database. Stateful workloads are treated as an afterthought.
Developers Wait on DBAs
Database requests turn into Jira tickets, Slack threads, and approval queues. Every hour spent waiting on a fresh dev or staging database is an hour not shipping.
Governance Blindspots
Self-service usually means losing control over who spun up what — and how much it costs. No audit trail, no compliance, no cost visibility.
How Solanica Fits Your Platform
Solanica acts as the invisible orchestration engine behind your developer portal, handling the complex lifecycle of stateful resources.
From click to database in under a minute.
Three patterns your developers will actually use — production-grade, governed, and fully self-service.
Ephemeral Environments
Spin up a full stack — including a fresh database — for every Pull Request. Tear it down automatically when merged. No stale environments, no wasted spend.
- PR-triggered provisioning via API
- Auto-teardown on merge/close
- Full data isolation per environment
Golden Paths
Define approved database configurations (e.g., "Production Postgres High-Avail"). Developers click once; Solanica handles provisioning, networking, backups, and HA — all within policy.
- Pre-approved templates with guardrails
- One-click provisioning for developers
- Consistent across all environments
Cost Control
Enforce TTLs (Time-to-Live) on dev databases. No more "zombie" instances running on the weekend. Full visibility into who spun up what and how much it costs.
- TTL policies with auto-expiration
- Per-team and per-namespace quotas
- Cost attribution via labels
