LyftData

Simple plans. Clear limits. No hidden ingest fees.

Pick the edition that matches your telemetry footprint. Run LyftData in your own environment, keep control of your data plane, and scale ingest as your volume grows.

Licenses apply to the Server based on daily ingest and Worker capacity — the same control plane across all tiers. Workers scale horizontally as you add more pipelines.

Route governed streams into SIEM, observability, warehouse, or storage platforms.

Interface

Visual Editor + Run & Trace across all Jobs.

Data control

Everything runs inside your infrastructure; no data plane hosted by LyftData.

License

Annual license key.

Best for organizations with global telemetry, strict compliance, or complex hybrid topologies.

Custom

Deployment

Self-managed across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid footprints.

Ingest

Licensed for effectively unlimited ingest, with guardrails you define.

Execution

Unlimited Workers spanning regions and environments.

Pipeline model

Full Jobs + Channels + routing patterns for composed, multi-step pipelines.

Interface

Visual Editor + Run & Trace across all tiers.

Architecture

Customer-owned data plane with private networking and BYO object storage (S3, GCS).

Security

Integration with your existing controls and compliance processes.

Onboarding

Architecture review and implementation guidance from the LyftData team.

Why LyftData

Why teams choose LyftData

Control without pain

LyftData runs entirely inside your environment — cloud, VPC, on-prem, or hybrid. You keep your own security boundaries and data plane; LyftData provides the control plane that orchestrates Jobs and Workers.

Predictable budget guardrails

Ingest caps and Worker limits act as built-in cost controls. Pipelines cannot exceed licensed throughput, helping avoid surprise SIEM or observability invoices while you shape data upstream.

Anti–vendor-lock-in architecture

LyftData works with open formats, BYO object storage, and vendor-neutral routing, so you can deliver governed data into Splunk, Sentinel, Datadog, Elastic, Snowflake, S3, and more — without tying pipelines to any single tool.

The same binary everywhere

Community, Standard, and Enterprise all use the same Server and Worker model. Upgrading means increasing licensed ingest, not rewriting pipelines or learning a new product.

Shared entitlements

What every edition includes

Core Pipeline Model

Jobs, Inputs, Actions, Outputs, Channels, and Worker-based execution as the foundation for all pipelines.

Full Visual Editor

A consistent UI for building, editing, and reviewing Jobs in every tier.

Run & Trace Simulator

Validate and inspect pipeline behavior with sample data before pushing changes into production.

Transformation Engine

Filtering, masking, normalization, parsing, and enrichment capabilities available across all editions.

Native Connectors

Connect to common sources and destinations without introducing proprietary storage or lock-in.

Deployment

Deployment Model

Self-managed by default

LyftData runs entirely inside your environment. You control where the Server and Workers live, how long data is retained, and how it is stored, secured, and audited.

Hybrid-ready

Because the Server and Workers are stateless and portable, customers can adopt a customer-owned data plane pattern: the control plane orchestrates Jobs, while event data flows through your own networks, storage, and security layers — not a vendor’s shared data plane.

Upgrades

Upgrade without replatforming

Keep your pipelines; extend your capacity

Your Jobs, Workers, routing logic, and transformations stay the same across editions. When you outgrow a tier, you increase your ingest license and Worker envelope — not rebuild pipelines or migrate to a different product.

Same Server

One control plane across Community, Standard, and Enterprise.

Same Jobs

Identical Job definitions and Visual Editor experience as you scale.

Same Workers

Workers scale horizontally; you extend the licensed capacity, not the model.

Enterprise FAQ

Enterprise FAQ

How are ingest limits enforced?

Your license defines permitted daily ingest. The Server enforces those caps so pipelines cannot exceed licensed throughput.

Can we add more workers without changing tiers?

Standard covers up to 100 Workers; Enterprise is effectively unlimited. Workers scale horizontally under the same Server control plane. (Exact numbers to be confirmed internally.)

Do upgrades require replatforming?

No. Jobs, Workers, routing rules, and transformations all carry forward. Upgrading means increasing ingest capacity, not redesigning pipelines.

Where does LyftData run?

LyftData is self-managed inside your infrastructure — cloud, VPC, on-prem, or hybrid. Your data plane remains under your control.
