A fixed-fee implementation, a managed retainer, or a custom-scoped engagement. No usage-based billing.
Architecture, deployment, and handoff
Everything ongoing, handled for you
For multi-environment, regulated deployments
Figures above are starting points for a typical single-environment deployment. Every engagement is scoped after a discovery call — see the FAQ below for how that works.
We use open source throughout — Spark, Airflow, Kerberos, Ranger, and DataHub. We don't sell a proprietary platform; we sell the integration, security hardening, and ongoing operation of one, so you never depend on our company staying in business to keep your data usable.
Both. The stack is infrastructure-agnostic and runs on your cloud account or on-premises hardware. This is often the deciding factor for regulated industries and government-adjacent clients that require data to stay within infrastructure they control.
You can take the handoff documentation and run it yourself, or move to a Growth retainer for ongoing monitoring, patching, Ranger policy management, and quarterly security reviews. Most clients choose the retainer once they see the operational overhead firsthand.
Weeks, not months, for a Foundation-scope deployment, using a proven reference architecture rather than a from-scratch build. Exact timelines depend on data volume, compliance requirements, and how many systems need integration.
Yes. While most clients deploy the full stack together, the components are modular — we regularly scope engagements around a single gap, such as adding DataHub cataloging and lineage to an existing Spark environment.
After a discovery call, we scope a fixed fee based on data volume, number of systems to integrate, and compliance requirements — so you have a firm number before work starts, not a usage-based bill that grows over time.
