Control Plane runs workloads across AWS, GCP, Azure and other clouds as one platform, on its managed locations or on Kubernetes clusters you bring (BYOK). Quave ONE Connect runs our platform in your own cloud account, and Direct runs it on our regions.
Facts checked on November 10, 2026, with a source link on every row.
Control Plane is built for multi-cloud and multi-region: it reroutes traffic to healthy regions and clusters automatically, mixes many clouds and your own hardware, states a 99.999% SLA for workloads with at least two replicas in two locations, offers 24/7 Slack support with a guaranteed 30-minute response, and has SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS Level 1. If you need active failover across clouds, it is a strong choice.
Quave ONE Connect fits teams that want managed databases whose backups we run and watch. Control Plane deploys databases from templates that can run scheduled dumps to your own bucket, and its FAQ says database backup remains the customer's responsibility. Quave ONE Connect is a license from $399/month (plus a one-time setup fee and a 12-month minimum), with your cloud bill paid directly; Control Plane bills by usage.
| Quave ONE | Control Plane | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Connect: a platform license from $399/month, set by a capacity tier of the vCPU and memory you provision, plus a one-time setup fee and a 12-month minimum contract. You pay your cloud provider directly. The license and setup fee cover one region and one provider. | Usage-based with no contracts or minimums. Managed cloud: $0.06205654 per millicore-month of CPU and $0.00706330 per MB-month of memory, plus storage, egress, observability beyond a free tier and optional dedicated load balancers. Your own Kubernetes: $0.031 per millicore-month ($0.005 plus $5 per core-month on its Managed Kubernetes). |
| Entry point | Tier 1 covers up to 25 vCPU / memory. Tier prices and the setup fee are in your agreement; talk to our team for current pricing. | Control Plane says a typical workload costs less than $5 per month per location. A minimum workload size is not documented. |
| Free option | Free sign-up, and what Control Plane calls a generous free trial period, arranged with sales. The trial amount is not documented. | |
| Run in your own cloud | Yes, with Connect: the same platform in your AWS, GCP, Azure or OCI account, or on-premise. 12-month minimum and a one-time setup fee. | Bring your own Kubernetes (BYOK): connect your cluster (minimum 2 nodes) and Control Plane manages the workloads on it; the infrastructure bill stays with you. Its Managed Kubernetes (MK8s) creates clusters on AWS, GCP, Hetzner and Triton, and on any server or on-prem machine through its Generic provider; Azure, Linode and others are listed as coming soon. |
| Who runs the cluster | The Quave team runs the Kubernetes cluster in your cloud account: cluster and platform upgrades, monitoring and infrastructure alerts, with 24/7 on-call for infrastructure outages. You pay your cloud provider directly. | |
| Regions | Regions of your own cloud account (AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, another provider) or on-premise. The license covers one region and one provider; more may cost extra. | |
| Bandwidth | You pay your cloud provider directly for the underlying infrastructure. The Connect license tier is set by the vCPU and memory you provision. | Egress: $0.12 per GB. |
| Managed databases | Managed MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis work the same on Connect as on Direct, and Disaster Readiness can keep recoverable data in another region. | |
| Long-running apps and WebSockets | Long-running containers, so WebSockets work. Idle connections close after 60 seconds without data by default; keep-alive pings (such as Meteor DDP heartbeats) keep them open. | |
| Autoscaling | App environments autoscale warm containers on CPU and memory (enabled per account on request). On Connect, eligible environments can also scale to zero when idle and wake on traffic. | Scales on concurrency, requests per second, CPU, memory, latency or KEDA. Serverless workloads scale to zero when there is no traffic; Standard and Stateful workloads can with KEDA. |
| Logs and metrics | Included: logs kept 20 days, Grafana metrics, alerts to Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, email or webhooks, and OpenTelemetry tracing (enabled per account). | |
| Preview environments | Branch previews per pushed branch with the Quave ONE CLI and GitHub Action, cleaned up after a TTL. | Per-PR preview environments. |
| Support | Email support, Monday to Friday, 9AM–5PM São Paulo time, usually answered within an hour. 24/7 on-call for infrastructure outages on every plan. | Slack channels, typical response under 5 minutes and guaranteed within 30 minutes. A 99.999% SLA when workloads run at least two replicas in at least two locations. |
| Compliance | Working towards SOC 2 (preparing for the audit). Customers with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications run on Quave ONE; with Connect, workloads stay in your own cloud account. | |
| AI agents (MCP) | Remote MCP server included: AI clients can inspect logs, review deployments, manage environments and run approved Jobs, within your account permissions. | Official hosted MCP server (mcp.cpln.io) with read-only and full toolsets. |
