Datum is still being built. We are building a public cloud with a generous “forever free” tier, and working closely with design partners on managed cloud and BYOC approaches. This page summarizes where each product stands.

Available today

Our public cloud is opinionated, but powered by key partners. We call these our “house brand” services:

In preview

  • Compute: isolated Instances that run container images or fast-starting unikernels in Datum locations.
  • gVPC: private IPv6 networks for your Instances that span every location they run in, on Datum’s SRv6 backbone.

What we’re working on

  • More Connectors: developer options such as Tailscale tailnets and WireGuard VPNs, and telco options such as AWS Direct Connect, Equinix Fabric, and Megaport onramps.
  • vMMR: a virtual “meet me room” for interacting with diverse connections.
  • Networking for Instances: firewall rules and private DNS. See gVPC planned capabilities.

Product roadmaps

Each product has its own limitations and roadmap page:

The best place to track our roadmap is our website and milestones. To suggest a feature, visit our GitHub discussions. For more ways to take part, see Get involved.

Enhancement proposals

Datum designs major changes in the open, in the datum-cloud/enhancements repository on GitHub. It holds proposals for significant architectural changes, cross-cutting work such as security and performance, and long-term roadmap items that span several releases. Each proposal starts as an issue, is refined with maintainers and the community, and becomes an enhancement document. Proposals move from Backlog to In Progress to Completed. To follow the design behind what’s coming, browse the open enhancements. To propose one of your own, open a new issue there. For smaller ideas and feature requests, use GitHub discussions instead.
Plans can change. This page isn’t a commitment to deliver any feature or to meet any timeline.
