Deployment spectrum from fully managed by us to fully managed by you, plotting the four options by who hosts and who operates.

Feature overview

Deployment Options

Develocity meets your infrastructure and operating model where they are. Four deployment options, from fully managed by us to fully managed by you. With Fully Managed SaaS, we host and operate Develocity. With Hybrid SaaS, we host and operate the Develocity instance while the Develocity Edges run in your infrastructure, so your cache data — build artifacts and other sensitive IP — stays inside your boundary. With Bring Your Own Cloud, Develocity runs in your AWS account, operated by us. With Self-Hosted, you host and operate Develocity for full control. If your requirements change, we can help you migrate to any other deployment option. Most teams start with Fully Managed SaaS.

We host the Develocity instance, you host the Edges

  • Develocity Edges run in your infrastructure, deployed and operated by you, serving build, artifact, and setup cache data right next to your builds.
  • You choose where cache data lives: kept on your Edges only, never leaving your infrastructure, or replicated to the Develocity instance.
  • Choose your deployment region (US, EU, or Asia), and choose between different connectivity options (open internet, IP allow-listing, or AWS PrivateLink).
Hybrid SaaS, the Develocity instance we operate in our infrastructure and Develocity Edges you operate serving your local CI agents, developer machines, and AI agents with caches, with optional replication of cache data to the Develocity instance.

Develocity in your AWS account, operated by us

  • Data never leaves your cloud boundary: Develocity and the Develocity Edges run in your own account, on your network and in your region.
  • We operate everything through access you grant and scope to your infrastructure: upgrades, encrypted backups, monitoring, scaling, and SLA-backed availability.
  • This option is only available for customers on AWS.

Develocity in your infrastructure, operated by you

  • Run Develocity standalone on a single Linux VM or your own Kubernetes cluster (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift, or on-premises).
  • Develocity Edges are self-hosted too, co-located with your developers and build infrastructure to serve build, artifact, and setup caches close to where builds run.
  • Fully supported in air-gapped networks: install and upgrade with no internet access.
  • Your team owns operations: installation, upgrades, encrypted backups, disaster recovery, scaling, and availability.
Self-Hosted, your CI agents, developer machines, and AI agents connecting to Develocity and the Develocity Edges inside your infrastructure, all operated by you.

Compare the four deployment options

  • Every option shifts a different share of hosting and operations between you and us.
  • Security, identity, and access policies remain yours across all four options.
  • The complete shared-responsibility model for each option is documented on Security & Compliance.
