SaaS (fully managed)
In the SaaS model, Lerian manages the complete infrastructure — provisioning, scaling, monitoring, patching, and backups. Teams get:
- Zero infrastructure overhead
- Automatic updates and maintenance
- Built-in observability and SLA guarantees
- Shared-nothing multi-tenant isolation
BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud)
In the BYOC model, Lerian products are deployed inside the customer’s own cloud account. Teams maintain full control over:
- Infrastructure and network configuration
- Data residency and sovereignty
- Security policies and access controls
- Scaling and cost optimization
