Your enterprise customer just asked: "Can you run this in our environment?"

Join us for an evening of deep dives into that question - the engineering tradeoffs behind BYOC, the deployment model reshaping how software is sold & operated, accelerated by AI & rising data-sovereignty demands.

More buyers now require vendors to deploy into their cloud, forcing product & engineering leaders into a hard tradeoff: keep shipping the roadmap, or invest in a new deployment model.

Rootly hit this directly, & built their Edge Connector to run inside customer networks without opening inbound access - they'll share what that took.

This panel covers the full journey: launching a self-hosted deployment option, adding the access & infrastructure layer that turns it into true BYOC, & navigating the challenges that emerge once you're operating software across dozens - or hundreds - of customer environments.

We'll bring together the three pillars of a BYOC motion - deployment, secure access, & day-2 operations - & explore how to orchestrate them to launch, secure, & maintain software in customer environments without the traditional overhead.

Speakers

Quentin Rousseau | CTO & Co-founder, Rootly AI

Quentin is a serial entrepreneur & distributed systems expert dedicated to building fault-tolerant infrastructure. He specializes in backend architecture & large-scale reliability, focusing on designing systems that handle extreme traffic. He is a frequent speaker on system post-mortems & the technical complexities of incident management.

Michael Ten-Pow | Founder & CEO, Tensor9

Michael is the CEO of Tensor9, a BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) platform that lets vendors deploy their existing SaaS stack into any customer environment without rewriting software. A former AWS engineer of 12 years who helped drive the industry's first major transition from on-premise to the cloud. Michael holds a degree in Computer Science from Princeton University.

Eran Kampf | VP of Engineering, Twingate

Who Should Attend?

Platform Engineers looking to modernize their internal developer portals.

Product & Engineers focused on launching & scaling self-hosted deployments.

CTOs aiming to ship faster without adding infrastructure access to their roadmap.

Rootly AI is the AI-native on-call & incident response platform that provides proactive support to help Site Reliability Engineers resolve incidents faster, improve system resilience, & streamline on-call operations. It's your always-on SRE copilot that automates root cause analysis & identifies patterns that drive continuous improvement-trusted by hundreds of companies like LinkedIn, NVIDIA, Replit, Elastic, Canva, Clay, Tripadvisor, & Shell.

Tensor9 lets software vendors deploy their product inside customer environments - cloud, on-prem, or air-gapped - without rewriting any code or maintaining a second product. It takes the deployment setup you already have & automatically adapts it to each customer's environment, so every customer runs the same product on the same release schedule.

It's the fastest way to launch a self-hosted option - from one dashboard, your team can monitor & update every deployment - trusted by leading startups like Serval & Cerby.

Twingate solves the other half of the problem: once your software runs in a customer's environment, your engineers still need to reach it - to debug, patch, & respond to incidents.

With Vendor Private Access, an egress-only connector ships inside your deployment package, giving your team least-privilege, fully audited access to every customer deployment - no inbound ports, VPNs, or bastion hosts - while customers keep complete visibility & control.

It's the access layer that turns a self-hosted deployment into an operable BYOC offering - trusted by companies like Notion, Confluent, Wiz, Cyera & Red Hat.
