Top Companies Deploy their Databases on AWS with Tessell
How It Works
Tessell offers significant value over AWS RDS by delivering a more enterprise-ready, customizable, and cost-efficient database experience.
Tessell goes far beyond basic database operations on AWS, delivering a highly differentiated and delightful data management experience built for modern enterprises. While others stop at provisioning and patching, Tessell empowers you with:
Orchestrated HA/DR across regions and availability zones for true resilience
Dataflix: rich, real-time visibility into how your data is being consumed
Data masking to ensure secure testing and development environments
Point-in-time recovery via seamless, automated data snapshots
Built-in data pipelines to move and transform data effortlessly
Comprehensive data ecosystem management, unifying governance, integrations, and lifecycle operations
Turn database operations into a strategic advantage, with control, observability, and automation across the entire data lifecycle on AWS.
At Your Terms
With your choice of cloud and database engine, you gain the power to enable cross-cloud disaster recovery, intercloud applications, data warehouses, and data lakes, all through a single unified control plane.
It’s your bridge across multi-cloud and database ecosystems, delivering flexibility, portability, and zero lock-in by design.
Tessell Integrates
with your AWS stack
Your choice of compute, storage, and network. Leverage and unlock more EBS, EC2, compute shapes, and storage, along with support for Exadata, High Performance NVMe, and AWS FSx for NetApp ONTAP.
We enable support for your security posture with private connectivity options, data masking, audit logging, and full compliance with IAM and encryption standards. You can also connect natively to services like CloudWatch, KMS, S3, Route 53, and IAM, while using AWS-native storage and networking for optimal performance.
Our DBaaS platform integrates seamlessly into your AWS stack by running within your own AWS account and aligning with your existing infrastructure, security, and operations.
We also integrate seamlessly into your CI/CD workflows, providing API and Terraform support, while offering deep cost visibility and integration with your monitoring and alerting tools. This delivers a powerful, enterprise-ready database experience without disrupting your cloud architecture.
Why Tessell is the choice
Database Consolidation: Run multiple independent databases on a single VM, each with distinct SLAs and maintenance, reducing infrastructure and licensing costs immediately.
Infrastructure Choice on Your Terms: Choose any cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI), database engine, and infrastructure type (standard, high-performance NVMe, Exadata, NetApp).
Out-of-the-Box Flexibility: Customize VM images, seamlessly integrate third-party tools (observability, CDC, audit, security), and maintain secure, audited access to underlying infrastructure.
Robust HA/DR Capabilities: Achieve true multi-AZ high availability with synchronous replication (zero RPO, near-zero RTO), plus automated cross-region disaster recovery with seamless switchover and switchback.
Delightful Data Management: Simplify data lifecycle management—backup compliance, data masking, export/import, prod-to-dev refreshes, data governance, and intuitive consumer-grade data browsing.
- EC2/EBS
- EC2 with local NVMe (patented)
- Exadata
- NetApp
Deploy and Manage PostgreSQL with greater flexibility, control, cost-efficiency, and resilience without the proprietary constraints of AWS Aurora.
Full Community Access: Choose any version, any extension, or any plugin, with full support for PostgreSQL Community Edition, without vendor lock-in.
Enterprise-Grade Support: From provisioning to performance tuning, we provide end-to-end support, elevating open source databases to commercial-grade reliability and service levels.
Performance & Value Over RDS Aurora: We consistently outperform RDS Aurora for PostgreSQL with better price-to-performance ratios, no IOPS metering, and built-in NVMe acceleration.
Your Cloud, Your Way: Deploy PostgreSQL in your cloud or on Tessell-hosted infrastructure, your choice, your control.
Tessell for Oracle on AWS
Comprehensive Oracle PaaS on AWS
Oracle migration to AWS is simplified with Tessell by enabling enterprises to lift and shine their existing Oracle workloads without refactoring. By running genuine Oracle databases on AWS with enterprise-grade SLAs, Tessell automates infrastructure management, reduces TCO, and accelerates time to value. It abstracts AWS complexities, integrates with native AWS services, and ensures predictable costs while maintaining full Oracle compatibility.

Deployment Architecture
Our deployment architecture securely separates your databases and all data within your own AWS environment (data plane) from Tessell’s metadata-only control plane. Databases run privately within your network with no inbound access, communicating securely via outbound HTTPS API calls. User authentication is managed through integrated SSO (Okta, G Suite, Active Directory).
Security Architecture
Tessell operates with strict least-privilege access, limited to a specific resource group within your environment and unable to read, write, update, or delete any resources outside of its scope. Within the designated workspace, Tessell uses only the networks (BYON) and encryption keys (BYOK) you provide, without the ability to create, modify, or delete them, ensuring full control remains with you.
