Glasskube

Hi everyone! We’re Philip and Louis, the co-founders of Glasskube and we are excited to share Distr.

TLDR: Distr is an Open source control plane for AI companies. Our customers plug us into their existing CI/CD pipeline to offer BYOC and self-managed in hours, not months.

Distr is fully open source. Check out our repository on GitHub. (We'd appreciate a star 🌟)

“Self-managed is making a big comeback.” — Shay Banon, Founder of Elastic

We spoke with Shay earlier this month, and I couldn’t agree more.

• Enterprises want control.
• Data is valuable
• Security concerns are rising
• Data sovereignty is now critical, especially in the age of AI.

This shift has been building for a while and is accelerating rapidly, particularly in Europe, Singapore, and regulated industries around the world.

If you're building AI tooling and selling to large customers, how often have you been asked: “Can we run this inside our VPC?”

So why isn’t everyone offering self-managed?

Big players like ClickHouse, Snowflake, and Redpanda figured it out early. But for smaller teams, supporting self-managed deployments often feels out of reach. Too much effort, not enough return.

Self-managed often means:

• Too much complexity, too early.
• Every customer wants something different.
• Shipping updates is slow and painful.
• You’re flying blind, no usage insights.
• Troubleshooting without visibility is brutal.

First self managed customer?

Zero to one is the hardest. From your first PoC to a working Helm Chart and your first self-managed production deployment—we’ve done it all, many times over. That’s why we support you during your first self-managed customer and why using Distr is an unfair advantage.
