About Stackable GmbH
Stackable is a German software company that provides a modern, open-source data platform designed specifically for Kubernetes. Based in Wedel, Germany, the company addresses the growing need for digital sovereignty by offering a modular alternative to proprietary big data stacks. Their platform allows organizations to build and manage complex data architectures—including data lakes, lakehouses, and real-time analytics—across on-premises hardware, private clouds, and public cloud environments without vendor lock-in. The platform is built on the principle of 'Infrastructure as Code,' utilizing Kubernetes Operators to automate the deployment and management of well-known open-source projects like Apache Spark, Kafka, and Druid. By providing an integrated, tested, and supported distribution of these tools, Stackable enables enterprises (particularly in regulated industries like finance) to maintain full control over their data and infrastructure while benefiting from modern cloud-native operational efficiencies. Their business model focuses on enterprise support and services, ensuring that the core technology remains transparent and accessible.
