Needs
Internal developer platform. We are building a managed cloud from scratch and need solid platform foundations without a large infrastructure team.
Today: dedicated platform engineer role to run the managed distributed query service on container clusters · Urgency: now
Cloud cost optimization. Running heavy query workloads for customers means compute cost control is central to our business model.
Today: engineers benchmark and tune compute costs per query rather than using a cost-management tool · Urgency: this year
SOC 2 / ISO 27001 automation. Launching a hosted service means we will need security attestations for business customers soon.
Today: buyers of the new hosted service likely ask for attestation, handled case by case · Urgency: later

Needs

NEEDDevTools · Data Platforms · 11–50 · Europe #b018_24Unverified· DevOps

We run heavy query workloads for our customers, so compute spend sits at the center of our business model. Today our engineers benchmark and tune cost per query by hand, which eats time we cannot spare. A good solution must show cost per workload clearly, fit a small team, use usage-based pricing, and be quick to adopt.

Running language model workloads across regions is pushing our cloud bill up faster than we can explain it. We need spend attributed by team, feature and region, with hard caps that stop runaway usage. A good solution must show who caused a cost, alert before limits hit, and keep a clear audit trail.

We run enterprise voice offerings, and as more customers arrive, our compliance program has to cover several frameworks at once. Evidence gathering still eats too much of our lead's time ahead of audits. A good solution must collect evidence automatically, extend controls to self-hosted deployments, and export clean packages auditors accept.

NEEDDevTools · Developer Tooling · 200–1000 · North America #b013_04Unverified· Compliance

We hold many certifications, and every audit cycle still turns into a scramble to pull evidence from cloud, ticketing and code systems. We want collection to run continuously, mapped once across many frameworks, with proof that auditors already accept. It must support enterprise data residency and show its own security attestations. Who has lived this problem?

Our regulated customers keep asking for more compliance frameworks to cover our hosted service, and doing each one by hand would swamp our small team. We need automation that spans several frameworks, not just one attestation, without a dedicated compliance hire, a long procurement cycle, or enterprise-only pricing.

We keep every new laptop and account within policy, but proving it at audit time still eats weeks. Our small IT group gathers proof by hand across Linux and Mac machines. A good solution must treat Linux as a first-class citizen, tie device inventory to audit evidence automatically, and plug into our ticketing and code hosting.

We run several certifications across multiple legal entities, and every year the same control testing and evidence gathering gets repeated per entity. A good solution must map one control set across entities, reuse evidence across frameworks, keep scopes separate, support local data residency, and plug into our identity provider and ticketing.

We're a small team running clusters, deployments and observability, and it eats time our product engineers should spend building. We want a leaner internal platform without hiring a dedicated platform group. A good solution must be light to operate, give clear audit logs, keep customer workloads isolated, and pass a security review.

We wish a tool existed that maps consent terms and cross-border transfer rules to each study, then flags conflicts before data moves. We would judge it by whether it supports per-study configuration, produces reports our regulators and reviewers can read, signs data processing terms, and keeps tamper-proof logs. Anything that cannot show its audit trail fails our security review immediately.

We wish for one evidence workspace where a single control artifact is collected once and reused across every assurance report we face each year. We would judge it by fewer repeat requests to our teams, clean mapping between frameworks, an auditor-friendly trail, and support in our time zones. Partner-facing evidence sharing would be a strong plus.

We ship our mobile savings app updates often, yet too much release confidence still rests on manual checks and a small team stretched thin. We need broader automated coverage that runs inside our existing pipeline, handles real devices and load, and shows clear results to engineers. Quick team trial, light onboarding and transparent pricing as we scale matter most.

Enterprise prospects keep sending long security questionnaires, and answering them by hand pulls our small security team and engineers away from product work. Keeping attestations current across a spread-out team is the same story. A good solution must sync answers with our existing attestations, work with single sign-on, and need no dedicated admin.

Larger customers keep asking whether we hold a formal security certification, and today we answer with hosting commitments and local-market assurances instead of a broad attestation. We need a way to prepare for an audit without drowning a small engineering team. A good solution must keep evidence collection mostly automatic and keep all data in European data centres.

We wish for a workspace that assembles government pricing submissions straight from governed source data, with every figure traceable back to the originating record. We would judge it by how many manual spreadsheet steps disappear, whether reviewers can replay any calculation, and whether a rule change updates drafts without rework. Deadlines never move, so reliability matters more than features.

We run heavy performance and correctness testing on our engine and its connectors, and much of it is still slow and partly manual. We need automation that handles large JVM codebases, runs well for remote engineers, and includes benchmark tooling we can repeat. Budget is modest, so pricing must stay small-team friendly. Tools built only for small codebases won't work for us.

We serve investment firms whose security questionnaires keep growing, and every audit cycle eats far too much of our team's time. We want evidence collection and control monitoring automated, with clear audit logs, financial services grade security, and responsive support. Our budget is modest, so pricing must fit a small team.

We're a fast-growing wealth service, and our compliance team is stuck checking operational controls by hand on a schedule. Problems slip through between checks. We want continuous monitoring that flags drift as it happens, fits our existing cloud data stack, protects member financial data, and goes live in weeks, not months. Financial services experience is essential.
