How it works

We run the operations. You keep the data.

Management is separated from data. Tessell provisions, monitors, patches, and protects your databases from a control plane that holds only metadata. The databases themselves, and every backup, run in your own cloud and never leave it.

FeatureDetail
What changes

Less toil for the people who run your databases.

Tessell automates the operational work, so your teams spend their time on what actually needs a human.

For DBAs

No more patching weekends

Patching, backups, high availability, and provisioning run on their own. DBAs spend their time on performance, design, and the work only they can do.

For App Developers

Databases in minutes, not tickets

Provision a clone, a refresh, or a new database in minutes through self-service, inside the guardrails central IT sets. No tickets, no waiting.

For Platform and DevOps Engg

Every database, managed as code

Provision and manage every database as code, through one API and Terraform, across every engine and cloud, so the whole estate runs to one consistent interface.

What the platform does

Four things Tessell handles, so your teams don't have to

Infrastructure

Provisioning and right-sizing

Compute, storage, and scaling across clouds, matched to each workload rather than over-provisioned by default.

Provisioning
Data management

Protection and recovery

Snapshots, backups, point-in-time recovery, and safe data sharing, driven by the Availability Machine.

Availability machine
Governance and control

Access, policy, and audit

One consistent set of controls across the estate, with your data never leaving your own account.

Access policies
Lifecycle management

Day-two, simplified

Patching, upgrades, and ongoing operations, handled the same way for every engine.

Why Tessell

What sets Tessell apart

One platform for the whole estate
One platform for the whole estateEvery engine and every cloud on a single operating model, instead of a different tool for each database and each provider.
It runs where your data already lives
It runs where your data already livesAdopt a managed service without moving data out. Your databases stay in your own cloud, under your keys.
Dedicated to you, and auditable by you
Dedicated to you, and auditable by youYour databases run in your own account, on a dedicated control plane over a private endpoint, with no shared tenancy. For the strictest environments, the whole platform runs in your tenant.
It runs on cloud budget you've already committed

Single Control Plane

Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, across all major clouds.

And a dedicated team behind it

People accountable for your deployment, not a ticket queue

A dedicated engineering team owns your deployment from proof of concept through production. It is not part of the software, it is who stands behind it, and it is how the platform gets adopted and stays reliable.

Who it's for

The teams that run, standardize, and depend on databases

Central IT and platform teams

Standardizing databases across the estate on one operating model instead of many.

Cloud and data architects

Setting the reference architecture and needing it to hold across clouds and engines.

Application owners and DBAs

Running and depending on the databases every day, who want speed without losing control.

Security and compliance teams

Who need data to stay inside their own account, keys, and governance at all times.
Frequently Asked
Questions
Tessell is a unified control plane that operates Oracle, SQL Server, and open-source databases across all major clouds. Your databases run inside your own cloud account, and Tessell manages them for you as a fully managed service.
Your databases and backups stay inside your own cloud account and in the region you choose. The management layer holds only metadata, so Tessell never takes custody of your data, and you keep control of residency and sovereignty, cloud by cloud and region by region.More on security
All major clouds. You run the same platform and the same operating model everywhere, and you can move workloads between clouds without re-platforming. See the full coverage
No. Tessell is built around any engine on any cloud with no lock-in. Because your databases run in your own account on standard engines, you keep the freedom to change course as your strategy changes.
No. Tessell automates the repetitive operational work such as patching, backups, and provisioning, so your DBAs spend their time on performance, design, and the work only they can do. It removes the toil, not the expertise.
Yes. You retain full access to the operating system and the database layer, so the workloads, agents, and tooling that depend on that access keep working.
It is a fully managed service. A dedicated engineering team operates your databases, while those databases run inside your own cloud account. How support works
Yes. Most engagements start with a proof of concept on a real workload, supported by dedicated engineering from day one, so your team can validate it in production-like conditions before expanding.
You can run single instances, multi-AZ high availability, and cross-region disaster recovery, and map each database to the availability and recovery tier it needs.
Tessell connects to the identity, observability, security, and automation tools you already run, using your own accounts, so data flows to the systems your teams already watch.
