Vespa Cloud
Vespa Cloud provides the infrastructure, automation, and support required to run Vespa applications reliably and efficiently in production environments.
Vespa Cloud is a managed, production-ready platform for deploying Vespa applications at scale, developed and operated by the team behind Vespa. It removes the operational burden of managing infrastructure, automating everything from upgrades and security to performance tuning and support. With Vespa Cloud, you can focus on building and iterating on your application while relying on a robust, scalable foundation.
Operating Vespa at scale involves more than just spinning up nodes; it requires continuous availability, secure upgrades, fault detection, and resource optimization. Vespa Cloud automates routine operational tasks, including:
Vespa Cloud engineers monitor systems proactively and respond to critical issues 24/7, reducing operational risk and cost.
Vespa Cloud includes access to the core Vespa team for operational and performance tuning:
These capabilities help optimize both cost and application performance.
Deploy updates confidently using the built-in CD pipeline:
Vespa Cloud provides full control over deployment timing and scope, ensuring safe upgrades even for mission-critical workloads.
Security in Vespa Cloud is handled by the Vespa team and includes:
This eliminates the need to build and maintain custom security frameworks.
Applications running in Vespa Cloud can automatically scale to match workload:
Autoscaling ensures service quality while optimizing infrastructure spend.
The Vespa Cloud experience is designed for developers:
Vespa Cloud accelerates experimentation and simplifies production readiness.
Vespa Cloud offers significant benefits over Vespa OSS, removing the complexity of self-management and adding capabilities that accelerate time to value. The table below highlights how Vespa Cloud streamlines operations, enhances reliability, and provides direct access to the Vespa team. The result: you can focus on building applications at scale.
* On-premises deployments with full support are also available. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Managing Vespa OSS in-house gave Onyx full control, but this came at a cost: time spent tuning infrastructure, balancing performance against budget, and handling operational overhead instead of building new features. As customer growth accelerated, these hidden costs became harder to ignore. By moving to Vespa Cloud, Onyx eliminated the burden of self-management while gaining built-in optimization tools and expert guidance. The result: faster scaling, lower costs, and more time to focus on delivering value to customers.
