Your cloud, your data
The data plane runs as a lean Rust agent inside your own VPC, reading and writing your own object-storage bucket. Your data never leaves your account — we only ever see metadata.
Run the data plane in your own cloud on your own bucket — BteloDB only meters the control plane. One engine replaces Kafka, ClickHouse and Elasticsearch, so you pay one bill instead of three.
The WarpStream-style split — taken one step further: one engine instead of a streaming cluster alone.
The data plane runs as a lean Rust agent inside your own VPC, reading and writing your own object-storage bucket. Your data never leaves your account — we only ever see metadata.
Billing is computed from the control-plane metadata: uncompressed bytes written, plus a little managed storage. No agents to babysit, no per-broker capacity planning.
Streaming, columnar SQL and search live in the same engine on S3. You stop paying — and operating — three separate clusters with three sets of replication and inter-zone fees.
No hidden fees, no gotchas — move the dials and watch the bill.
Estimates based on representative public list prices and typical 5× columnar compression; your actual cloud spend is billed directly by your provider and varies with workload.
Start by self-hosting for free. Bring your own cloud when you need a managed control plane.

Data in your cloud, control plane managed
For serious scale and compliance
No. In BYOC the data plane runs in your own cloud against your own bucket. BteloDB only receives control-plane metadata — never your records.
By uncompressed bytes written, tiered so it gets cheaper as you scale, plus a small managed-storage fee. It is computed entirely from metadata.
Your data plane keeps serving reads and writes — S3 is the single source of truth and tokens are cached. The control plane is for management and billing, not the hot path.
No. The same engine serves Kafka-style streams, columnar SQL and search over one copy of data on S3 — that is where most of the savings come from.
