Introducing awesome-byoc: a community list of BYOC products

If you've spent time in developer communities, you've encountered an "awesome list." These curated directories remain a favorite for developers discovering new tools.

Today we're publishing awesome-byoc: a directory of infrastructure tools that support Bring Your Own Cloud deployment.

Why BYOC Needed Its Own List

BYOC has become a common deployment model for infrastructure software. Vector databases, streaming platforms, observability tools, and more now offer deployment into customer cloud accounts.

If you're evaluating vendors and care about data residency requirements, you've likely spent time hunting through documentation to figure out who offers BYOC and how their implementation works.

What's Inside

The directory at awesomebyoc.com currently features 15 tools across 6 categories:

• Databases: Managed database platforms with BYOC deployment options
• Streaming: Event streaming and message queue infrastructure
• Observability: Monitoring and logging tools that run in your environment
• Data Integration: ETL and data pipeline platforms
• Dev Platforms: Developer tools and platforms with customer-cloud deployment
• BYOC Platforms: Infrastructure specifically built to enable BYOC for other vendors

Each listing includes direct links to the vendor's BYOC documentation.

Why We Built This

We work in this space, and we see teams architect a variety of BYOC implementations across different vendors and compliance requirements.

The term “BYOC” covers a range of implementations, from fully customer-managed infrastructure to split control planes with vendor-managed components. This directory is a starting point for making that landscape visible. We want to highlight vendors doing BYOC well and give teams a reference point.

Open Source

Anyone can contribute at github.com/nuonco/awesome-byoc. PRs welcome, especially for tools we've missed or categories we haven't covered yet.

What's Next

We're producing a podcast series that digs into the technical details and tradeoffs of BYOC — how different vendors approach the split between customer infrastructure and vendor services, and what that means for security, operations, and cost. More on that soon!
