Whitepapers, deep-dives, and honest comparisons. No marketing fluff — engineering content for teams running databases in production.
Use Cases
How engineering teams deploy Solanica to solve real infrastructure problems.
Database-as-a-Service
Replace RDS with a self-hosted, managed database platform. Any cloud. Any data center. Full control.
For Operations Teams →Internal Developer Platform
Solve the stateful problem in your IDP. Self-service database provisioning via Terraform, Helm, or Backstage.
For Platform Engineers →AI Infrastructure
Orchestrate vector databases and inference engines with strict GPU cost controls and zero data egress.
For AI Architects →AI Copilot Alpha
Automated query tuning, anomaly detection, and index recommendations. Stop waking up at 3am for query spikes.
For SREs & DBAs →MSSQL on Kubernetes
Run Microsoft SQL Server on any Kubernetes cluster, with failover, backups and upgrades handled by the platform.
For SQL Server Teams →OpenEverest on VMware vSphere
Turn your existing VMware infrastructure into a cloud-native database platform. Officially tested and partnered with Broadcom.
For VMware Teams →Whitepapers & Deep Dives
Architecture guides and operator comparisons for engineers running databases on Kubernetes.

Side-by-side breakdowns of Solanica against the alternatives. Written for engineers evaluating their options.
Self-Hosted Control Plane vs Managed Cloud Service
Aiven runs your databases on their infrastructure. Solanica runs everything on yours — your cloud account, your network perimeter, zero data egress.
See Full Comparison →Open, Portable Platform vs AWS-Locked Managed Service
RDS keeps you inside AWS by design. Solanica brings the same managed-database experience to any Kubernetes cluster — with a clear migration path out.
