Point of financial transition:

When PaaS becomes more cost-effective than SaaS

Many companies start their journey with SaaS solutions due to their low initial costs and quick setup. However, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of such solutions can include hidden and unpredictable expenses that grow alongside your project over time.

The financial benefits of deploying a managed PaaS platform emerge when your project reaches stable growth and your monthly SaaS logging expenses reach or exceed, for example, $2,000 and continue to rise. At this stage, you encounter so-called “tier jumps” and additional charges for data storage or API usage, making budget forecasting nearly impossible.

Switching to a managed PaaS platform at this point dramatically reduces costs and transforms unpredictable operational expenses into a predictable cost structure that is entirely under your control.

Overall, transitioning from SaaS to PaaS is part of a comprehensive strategy for scaling your company’s infrastructure.  And this is something most tech companies encounter once they reach a stage of stable growth.

Cloud Strategy Evolution: The Standard Transformation Path.

Where Are You on the Journey?

1.

SaaS-solution

This stage is ideal for launching a project where speed-to-market and minimal initial costs are key factors.

The benefits of this approach are clear: the provider handles all management and maintenance, while you receive a ready-to-use, “out-of-the-box” solution. As the project grows, you may face limitations in customization and unpredictable costs related to data volume and feature usage.

2.

PaaS on public clouds 

When a project reaches a stage of stable growth, the optimal solution is to transition to a managed PaaS platform on leased cloud servers.

This model allows your team to focus on the application while the provider takes care of maintaining the underlying platform, including the operating system and updates. It gives you greater control over your data and applications without the burden of managing the entire infrastructure.

3.

PaaS
on-premise

For mature organizations with high security, compliance, and full data control requirements, the logical final step is deploying a PaaS platform on your own infrastructure or in a private cloud.

This approach provides maximum independence from third-party providers and protection against potential risks related to changes in their policies. You retain all the benefits of the PaaS model, including automated management, while gaining complete control over the physical location and security of your data.

More about the logging platform


The tasks it solves

Log Analysis

Collection, processing, indexing, and analysis of logs from multiple sources.

Accelerated incident resolution and root cause analysis (RCA):

- Reduced mean time to repair (MTTR)
- Lower operating costs and increased team efficiency
- A foundation for security and compliance (e.g., PCI DSS)
- Accelerated development cycles.

Clustering & Scalability

Support for huge amounts of data and flexible storage

High performance and reliability at any scale:

- Cost control and budget optimization.
- Predictable pricing.

Security operation centre (SOC)

Complete visibility of the entire IT infrastructure.

The platform collects and centralizes logs from all sources, whether virtual machines, containers, cloud services, or local systems. This eliminates blind spots and provides a single data repository that serves as the basis for proactive threat hunting.


Integrity and Extensibility

Provision of APIs and ready-made integrations with other tools.

Seamless integration into existing technology stacks and workflows:

- Enables developers to move faster and reduces development and maintenance costs.

Technical details

Engines

In projects for our clients, we most often use open-source solutions such as OpenSearch and Elasticsearch. The free functionality increases the client’s benefit from transitioning to a new platform, while the open-source nature provides transparency and security maintained by the developer community.


Visualisation

OpenSearch Dashboards and Grafana are valued for their flexibility in configuring data visualization, intuitive interface, and ability to perform real-time log analysis and application monitoring.

In addition to working with major cloud providers, we also offer services for deploying the platform in private clouds.


Platform Engineering Tools


IDP Protocols


Encryption

In-transit, At-rest 


Ensuring control over expenses

Unlike subscription services with unpredictable costs and terms of use, our platform is deployed directly on your infrastructure—whether it's your own server or a cloud-based one. This approach gives you complete and transparent control over your budget and operating expenses.

Budget predictability

You are not tied to the changing policies and prices of SaaS providers.

You are protected from increased costs as the load on the logging platform grows.

Cost optimization

You get the ability to configure all the resources necessary for the platform to work.

This allows you to avoid spending money on excess capacity or features that are not used.

Safety and independence

Deployment within your security perimeter ensures that all data remains under your complete control, protected from external threats and changes in third-party policies. 

Company-wide security and access control

Supported IDP Protocols

SAML2 
Authentication protocol

Our solution supports SAML2 for single sign-on (SSO). This enhances security across the entire organization and eliminates the need for multiple passwords.

OAUTH2 
Authorization protocol

OAUTH2 provides flexible and secure integration with APIs. It allows your developers to create custom applications, giving them access to the necessary resources of our platform without revealing passwords.

Data protection methods (Encryption)

In-transit 

Data protection in transit ensures that your logs are transmitted over the network without interception or alteration, minimizing the risks associated with confidential information leaks.

 

At-rest 

Data encryption at rest reduces the risks associated with media loss or storage breaches. Our solution complies with HIPAA and GDPR standards and helps you pass audits for compliance with these regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have Question? We are here to help

How quickly does the investment in a PaaS logging system pay off?

The service typically pays for itself within 2–4 months due to a significant reduction in logging platform costs.

Actual cost savings range from 20% for e-commerce projects to up to 70% in high-load fintech projects where logging demands are substantial.

When does it make sense to switch from SaaS to a managed PaaS solution?

A managed PaaS platform becomes the optimal solution when your project reaches stable growth and monthly SaaS logging costs reach a level where tier jumps and additional charges for data storage or API usage make budgeting unpredictable. Transitioning at this stage reduces costs and turns variable operational expenses into a predictable cost structure, giving you full control over your infrastructure.

Which types of businesses benefit most from a PaaS logging platform?

Our PaaS logging solution is ideal for companies in the growth stage (100–500 employees) looking for scalable, cost-effective solutions. It is also suitable for mature organizations that require high security, regulatory compliance, and full control over their data, whether deployed on leased cloud servers, private cloud, or on-premises infrastructure.

How does your solution ensure data security and compliance?

We use open-source solutions such as OpenSearch and Elasticsearch, providing transparency, security, and community support. For mature organizations, PaaS deployment on private or on-premises infrastructure ensures maximum independence from third-party providers, full control over physical data location, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Does your platform support single sign-on (SSO) and secure API access?

Yes. Our solution supports SAML2 for single sign-on (SSO), enhancing security across the organization and eliminating the need for multiple passwords. It also supports OAUTH2, providing flexible and secure integration with APIs. This allows developers to create custom applications with access to platform resources without exposing passwords.
