What is Bergwerk Elastic VM?
Bergwerk Elastic VM gives you Bergwerk infrastructure with the knobs that matter exposed and the rest handled for you. Expect sub-minute provisioning, regional replication, and per-item billing. Built for engineering teams that would rather ship features than patch control planes. Bergwerk operates it as a fully managed service: patching, capacity, and failover are handled upstream, while access controls and spend alerts stay in your hands.
Key features
- Drop-in Terraform provider and CloudFormation templates
- Built-in daily snapshots with 35-day retention
- Transparent egress rates published per region
- Granular metrics exported to your own monitoring stack
- SOC 2 Type II audited controls on every plan tier
Typical use cases
- SaaS platforms scaling from first customer to full estate
- Media and content workloads with heavy read traffic
- Regulated workloads that require audit trails and data residency
- Internal platforms serving dozens of product teams
Why Bergwerk?
Bergwerk publishes list prices for every region and never gates core capabilities behind enterprise-only tiers. Capacity is pre-provisioned, so the performance you benchmark in a sandbox is the performance you get in production. And because egress rates are flat, the bill at the end of the month matches the estimate you made at the start.
Getting started
Create an account, pick a region, and the default configuration is live in under a minute. The quickstart walks through your first deployment in about ten minutes, and the managed Terraform module turns the same setup into code you can review.
