Data platforms for technology and SaaS companies
Growing technology and SaaS companies often find their data platform scaling faster than the team that runs it. Digitalis gives you senior specialists in Apache Cassandra, Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL and Kubernetes to design, scale and run the platform 24×7, so your engineers can focus on the product.
SaaS platforms hit data limits as they grow
- Growth outpaces the architecture. A design that worked for the first customers starts to struggle as more join.
- Platform work lands on product teams. Product engineers end up on call for databases they did not choose.
- Customer security reviews. Enterprise buyers ask detailed questions about how your platform and suppliers are secured.
- Cost per customer. Infrastructure spend must grow more slowly than revenue.

A typical architecture that scales out as you grow
- PostgreSQL for transactional data, with high availability and tested recovery.
- Apache Cassandra for high-volume, multi-region data that must never go down.
- Apache Kafka to decouple services and stream events between them.
- Kubernetes to deploy and scale consistently on any cloud. See also DevOps and SRE.
Frequently asked questions
When should a SaaS company bring in outside platform expertise?
Typically when the platform starts to limit growth, when on-call is burning out product engineers, or before a major re-architecture or migration.
Will you work alongside our engineers?
We can run the platform for you or work with your team, sharing knowledge as we go.
Can you help us answer customer security questionnaires?
Our information security management system is ISO 27001 certified and independently audited every year, which supports your own supplier assessments. See Why Digitalis.
