The Problem

Legacy Data, Single Point
of Failure

Your critical data lives in FoxPro, Access, or a proprietary format that one person understands. They’re about to retire.

Infrastructure You
Don’t Control

Compliance data in a shared cloud you can’t audit. Or a fragile internal stack one engineer built that nobody else can maintain.

Visibility That Comes
Too Late

By the time you see the problem in a spreadsheet export, the TAT has slipped, the costs have hit, and you’re in damage control.

WHAT BOTTERKIT IS

A governed data lakehouse. On your own Linux server.

BotterKit is a commercial deployment and operations product for PG Lake — a PostgreSQL-native data lakehouse engine built on DuckDB and open-source object storage.

You bring the server. BotterKit handles the rest.

Equipment runs disconnected from project scheduling.
Schedule slippage is measured after the financial damage is done.
Siloed reporting hides multi-site margin exposure.
Digital initiatives stall without field-level integration.

We call this BotterKit. It’s the foundation everything else runs on.

How it works

You provide a Linux server

On-prem, EC2, a DigitalOcean droplet — it doesn’t matter. BotterKit runs on standard Linux LTS. No Kubernetes. No cloud provisioning required.

We deploy the platform

BotterKit installs a governed data lakehouse with backups, monitoring, credential rotation, and a full audit trail. Production-grade from day one.

We connect your data

FoxPro, Access, proprietary formats, legacy ERPs — whatever you’re running, we connect it to the lakehouse and unify it in one dashboard. No rip-and-replace.

We add field intelligence

For teams with equipment in the field — sensors, telematics, shop floor telemetry — we connect that data into the same infrastructure. Real-time operational visibility.

You see everything

Real-time dashboards. Predictive alerts. Compliance-ready audit trail. Changes are automated. Backups are automated. Support is fast.

THE MATH

A mid-level infrastructure engineer costs $8,000–$12,000 per month fully loaded. BotterKit Enterprise Pilot costs $30,000 per year.

That’s less than two months of one engineer — and it covers deployment, hardening, backups, monitoring, update orchestration, change history, and a real support path.

The hard part of running a data lakehouse internally isn’t getting it running the first time. It’s running it safely, repeatably, and supportably inside a real business. That’s what BotterKit is for.

BotterKit Enterprise Pilot starts at $30K/year — less than three months of the infrastructure engineer it replaces
A fraction of a Snowflake or Databricks contract for data that shouldn’t leave your perimeter
No multi-year ERP modernization project — deployed in weeks, not months

Common questions

Q: Is BotterKit self-hosted?

A: Yes. BotterKit installs into customer-owned infrastructure. Your data doesn’t leave your environment.

Q: What does onboarding look like?

A: A 20-minute pilot conversation to understand your setup, then a deployment plan. Most teams are live within weeks.

Q: Do we need AWS or a specific cloud provider?

A: No. BotterKit runs on a standard Ubuntu LTS server. That server can live anywhere — on-prem, EC2, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, wherever you run infrastructure. BotterKit doesn’t provision cloud resources for you.

Q: What's the underlying technology?

A: BotterKit manages a PG Lake environment — PostgreSQL with a DuckDB engine that queries Parquet files on S3-compatible object storage (SeaweedFS). The object storage component is Apache 2.0 licensed with no AGPL exposure.

Q: Do we need a specific cloud provider?

A: No. BotterKit runs on any Ubuntu server. No cloud dependency.

Q: What if a backup or update fails?

A: BotterKit surfaces the failure in the console, records it in change history, and provides logs and a support bundle export for fast investigation. You’ll know immediately and have everything needed to act.

Q: What about backups and updates?

A: Automated. Backup scheduling, health monitoring, update
orchestration, and credential rotation are built in.

Q: Does this replace our BI or reporting tools?

A: No. BotterKit manages the deployment and operation of the data environment. Your existing BI tools connect to it like any other Postgres-compatible database.

Q: Does this replace our existing systems?

A: No. We connect to your legacy systems and unify the data. No rip-and-replace.

Q: What if we already have a cloud warehouse?

A: Many teams run both. BotterKit is for operational and compliance data that shouldn’t leave your perimeter.

Q: Is SSO included?
A: Not in the first release. Early deployments assume controlled internal access. SSO is on the roadmap.
Q: Can BotterKit run air-gapped?
A: Yes. All assets are self-hosted. No external CDN or SaaS dependencies at runtime.
Q: Can BotterKit manage multiple environments?
A: Yes. Standard and Enterprise tiers support multiple production
environments.
Q: What does implementation include?
A: Standard onboarding ($5,000) covers deployment planning, initial setup assistance, operational handoff, and a launch review. White-glove rollout is available for organizations needing more hands-on help.
