Quickwork Self-Managed IPaaS — Air-Gapped, Kubernetes-Native, EU-Sovereign
Quickwork Self-Managed is a sovereign, on-premises deployment of the Quickwork Integration Platform as a Service (IPaaS). It brings 1600+ pre-built connectors, an embedded Kafka KRaft message broker, and a microservices execution engine into your own air-gapped data center, bare-metal Kubernetes cluster, or private hyperscaler region — with zero data leaving your jurisdiction. Designed for regulated EU enterprises requiring GDPR, BDSG, and EU AI Act compliance.
Quickwork Self-Managed is a Kubernetes-native Integration Platform as a Service (IPaaS) deployed entirely within the customer's own infrastructure. It provides 1600+ pre-built connectors for air-gapped data centers, bare-metal Kubernetes clusters, and private EU hyperscaler regions, with no data leaving the customer's jurisdiction.
Deployment on Your Terms
No multi-tenant compromises. Retain 100% control over your data residency and infrastructure lifecycle.
True Air-Gapped
Run fully disconnected from the public internet. Perfect for highly regulated public sector, defense, and sovereign enterprise environments.
Kubernetes Native
Deploy via Helm charts directly into your private clusters. Deeply integrated with KEDA, Kafka KRaft, and Prometheus for horizontal scaling.
Zero-Trust Compliance
CycloneDX SBOMs for all 1600+ marketplace connectors. Isolated Backoffice authentication and indefinite audit logs for every system action.
Engineered for the Enterprise
Quickwork Self-Managed brings a robust, microservices-driven execution engine to your data center. It leverages industry-standard infrastructure like MongoDB, Redis, Postgres, and ClickHouse to deliver uncompromising performance.
-
Complete Observability
Preconfigured Grafana dashboards and Alerting rules for memory, Kafka lag, and failing pods. -
API Management
Seamless integration with Kong API Gateway and Istio Ambient Mode for robust mTLS routing. -
High Availability Architecture
Active-active clustered deployments across availability zones ensuring zero downtime and strict RPO/RTO compliance.
Deployment Topologies
Three first-class deployment models. Choose based on your sovereignty, latency, and operational requirements.
Air-Gapped Bare-Metal
Fully disconnected from the public internet. No inbound or outbound connectivity required at runtime. Updates delivered as signed offline bundles. Designed for highly regulated public sector, defense, and sovereign enterprise environments.
Private Kubernetes Cluster
Helm-chart deployment directly into your existing private clusters. Deeply integrated with KEDA for autoscaling, Kafka KRaft for messaging, and Prometheus + Grafana for observability. No vendor lock-in to a specific cloud.
Private Hyperscaler Region
EU-resident deployment on AWS, Azure, GCP, Stackit, or T-Cloud via managed Kubernetes. VPC peering only, no public endpoints. Combines hyperscaler elasticity with strict EU data residency. T-Cloud and Stackit are first-class targets for German and EU sovereign-cloud strategies.
Compliance & Evidence
Built for regulated EU enterprises. Every claim is backed by an auditable artifact.
GDPR
Data residency within EU jurisdiction. No cross-border transfer. Full data-subject rights support via audit logs.
BDSG
German Federal Data Protection Act compliance. On-premises or EU-resident hosting only. German-language service tracks available by contract.
EU AI Act
Risk-classification support for AI-augmented workflows. See our EU AI Act disclosure for details.
CycloneDX 1.6 SBOMs
Software Bill of Materials (CycloneDX 1.6 format) for all 1600+ marketplace connectors, including transitive dependencies. Importable into your enterprise vulnerability scanner for full supply-chain traceability.
Audit Logging
Indefinite, tamper-evident audit trail for every system action. Exportable to your SIEM for long-term retention and compliance review.
Authentication
Isolated Backoffice authentication. SSO/SAML/OIDC integration with your enterprise identity provider. Zero-trust access controls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from platform teams evaluating self-managed IPaaS.
Can Quickwork Self-Managed run completely disconnected from the internet?
Yes. Air-gapped deployment is a first-class topology. Updates ship as signed offline bundles and are applied via the Backoffice. No inbound or outbound internet connectivity is required at runtime.
How are connectors updated in an air-gapped environment?
Connectors are imported via the Backoffice's Manifests interface using signed offline bundles. A CycloneDX 1.6 Software Bill of Materials accompanies every bundle for full supply-chain traceability and vulnerability scanning.
Is Quickwork Self-Managed GDPR compliant?
Yes. No data leaves your jurisdiction. The platform runs entirely within your infrastructure boundary, supporting GDPR, BDSG, and EU AI Act compliance requirements.
What does high availability look like for Quickwork Self-Managed?
Active-active clustered deployments across availability zones with strict RPO/RTO compliance. Kafka KRaft provides the embedded message broker with quorum-based replication.
