Deployment Options

bitdrift offers three deployment options so you can balance operational simplicity, infrastructure control, and data governance to meet your needs.

Designed to meet teams where they are

Deploy fully managed SaaS, or run bitdrift in your own blob storage bucket (BYOB) or cloud environment (BYOC). All deployment models are built on the same high-performance architecture. The difference is where your telemetry data is stored and who controls the infrastructure.

SaaS

Fully managed in the bitdrift cloud. Fastest time to value. This is the most common deployment of bitdrift’s mobile observability solution. bitdrift operates the full backend stack, including ingestion, processing, indexing, storage, scaling, and upgrades. Telemetry data is stored in bitdrift-managed cloud storage.

Best For

1
Teams that want the simplest onboarding path
2
Organizations without strict data residency constraints
3
Companies that prefer not to manage infrastructure

What You Get

1
Fully managed ingestion and analytics
2
Automatic scaling and upgrades
3
Enterprise-grade security controls
4
No infrastructure to maintain

Bring Your Own Bucket (BYOB)

bitdrift’s mobile observability architecture is blob-store-first, meaning telemetry is durably stored in cloud object storage. With BYOB, that storage lives in your own S3 bucket.bitdrift continues to operate the ingestion pipeline, indexing layer, and analytics backend as SaaS. But all telemetry data at rest is written directly to storage that you control.

Best For

1
Organizations with strict data ownership policies
2
Teams requiring customer-controlled retention policies
3
Security reviews that mandate storage inside your AWS account
4
Enterprises with data sovereignty requirements

What You Get

1
Telemetry logs stored in your S3 bucket
2
IAM and encryption policies under your control
3
Customer-managed retention and lifecycle rules
4
SaaS-managed processing and analytics

You maintain custody of your data at rest. bitdrift delivers the insight layer on top. This option often clears procurement and compliance hurdles while preserving operational simplicity.

Teams with established internal platform operations

What You Get
