Why Costs Climb

Your database bill grows faster than your databases

Database costs rarely climb because you are running more workloads. They climb because of how the bill is structured: IOPS metered separately from compute, infrastructure provisioned for peak and never right-sized, and a stack of third-party tools for backup, high availability, monitoring, and data masking, each with its own contract. Tessell attacks all of it without forcing you to re-platform or rewrite anything. You keep your databases where they make sense and change what you are paying to run them.

How Tessell reduces cost

No IOPS-based pricing

Tessell runs on NVMe-backed infrastructure with up to 2 million IOPS on supported configurations and no separate provisioned-IOPS meter. Performance scales without a line item that grows every time your workload does.

A Fortune India 500 financial services company eliminated IOPS-based pricing and supported 3x business growth with zero cost growth.

Where Tessell fits

Cost reduction for any starting point

You do not need to be migrating to start spending less. Whether you run on a managed service, self-manage in the cloud, or operate a mix of engines across clouds, Tessell applies the same cost levers to the estate you already have.

Running on a managed service
Running on a managed service If your managed-service bill is climbing through IOPS charges, oversized tiers, or feature limits that force workarounds, Tessell gives you a managed experience on right-sized, dedicated infrastructure in your own cloud account.
Self-managed in the cloud
Self-managed in the cloud If you run databases yourself on cloud infrastructure, Tessell takes on the operational load and the tooling stack while keeping everything in your own account, so you cut cost without re-platforming.
Multi-engine estates
Multi-engine estates If your costs are spread across Oracle, SQL Server, and open-source engines on different clouds, Tessell consolidates the operations and the tooling into one control plane with consistent governance, which is where the redundant-tooling savings compound.

No. Tessell reduces cost whether you are running on a managed service, self-managing in the cloud, or operating a multi-engine estate. You change what you pay to run your databases without rewriting applications.
Tessell runs on NVMe-backed infrastructure with high IOPS available without a separate provisioned-IOPS charge that scales with your workload. Performance grows without that line item growing alongside it.
Oracle on AWS, Azure, and GCP; SQL Server on AWS and Azure; PostgreSQL and MySQL on AWS and Azure. Multi-engine, multi-cloud estates are managed and optimized from one control plane.
Backup, point-in-time recovery, HA and DR, performance monitoring, and data masking are built into Tessell, so you can retire the separate third-party tools and contracts that usually surround a database estate. You can still bring your own observability tools if you prefer them.
No. Tessell runs in your own cloud account with dedicated infrastructure, full DBA control, and your own encryption keys. The savings come from how the platform is built and priced, not from taking capability away.
