Stackland: On-Premises Platform for Deploying AI Applications in Enterprise Environments
Yandex B2B Tech has released Stackland — a solution for launching and scaling IT applications on companies' own hardware. The platform provides ready-made infrastructure with databases, a container orchestrator, and object storage. Deployment takes just hours, and development costs drop by 1.5 times thanks to automated environment setup.
For AI workloads, it offers GPU accelerator access management optimized for inference. Security features enable fine-grained employee permission controls, minimizing risks in secure environments.
Integration with Yandex Cloud Services
Stackland supports quick integration of Yandex Cloud services into on-premises setups. Available:
- Yandex SpeechSense for speech analysis;
- Yandex DataLens as a BI system.
Roadmap includes Yandex AI Studio and more tools. This accelerates development migration without full reliance on public cloud.
The hybrid approach suits companies with regulatory restrictions: data stays local while leveraging cloud tools. Closed-beta testing involved partners from e-commerce, fintech, retail, and industry — Hilbert Team, Neoflex, KTS, Navikon, AB Group.
Architecture and Key Features
The platform is built on proven components:
- Container Orchestrator — for orchestrating workloads;
- Object Storage — S3-compatible for data;
- Databases — managed services with high availability;
- GPU Management — RBAC for model inference;
- Security — selective access control.
Middle- and senior-level developers will appreciate the lack of setup overhead: focus on code and models. Scaling is horizontal with no downtime.
Quote from Grigory Atrepyev, CEO of Yandex Cloud: “We've struck a balance between strict local environments and innovation. Our goal is 50% of the on-premises AI software market.”
Key Takeaways
- Deployment in hours on any hardware, TCO reduced by 1.5x;
- GPU access with granular security for inference;
- Fast integration of Yandex SpeechSense, DataLens, AI Studio;
- Tested in fintech, retail, and industry;
- Hybrid setup for regulatory compliance.
