Project Space Hawk
Your "Control Plane" for Data Sovereignty.
Modern data platforms force you to choose: Control or Convenience. Space Hawk is a K8s-native Control Plane that gives you both. We provide a "Databricks-like" experience on top of a 100% open-source stack, deployed in your cloud (AWS, OVH, DO) or on-premise.
😵💫 The CTO's Choice: "Prison" or "Chaos"?
When building a 500+ TB data platform, you have only two bad options:
Option A: "The Golden Cage" (The Managed "Black Box")
Platforms: Databricks, Snowflake.
Reality: These are powerful, convenient tools. But your Control Plane and your data are "locked" in their cloud account. You can't deploy "on-prem" for regulatory requirements (GDPR/HIPAA). You can't use OVH bare-metal for savings. You lose Data Sovereignty.
Option B: "The DIY Chaos" (The "DIY Nightmare")
Platforms: Spark + Trino + Iceberg + ...
Reality: You keep 100% control and 100% open-source. But now you've hired 20+ DevOps engineers who have spent 2 years unsuccessfully trying to "glue" 15+ services into a single SSO and Governance model. You kept control, but lost time and money.
Existing K8s-native solutions (like iomete) solve "installation," but not the problem of Federated Governance at scale.
🦅 Solution: Space Hawk — Federated Governance "as Code"
Space Hawk is the third path. We are not "another Spark distribution." We are a "Contract-Driven Engine" that you deploy on top of your K8s. We automate 90% of the work your DevOps team is doing manually.

✨ Key Features (What you get "out of the box")
Executable "Data Contract"
(Our USP)
[Problem] Governance is "committees" and Confluence pages nobody reads.
[Solution] In Space Hawk, the Data Contract (a single YAML in Gitea) is an executable artifact. You declaratively describe SLA, Quality (Great Expectations), Data Access (RLS/CLS), and Code Access. Our Control Plane (Temporal-based) automatically executes this contract on every `git push`.
100% Data Sovereignty
(Your K8s, Your VPC)
[Problem] The "Golden Cage" (Databricks) dictates where you store data.
[Solution] Space Hawk deploys entirely in your K8s cluster. AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, OVH, DigitalOcean, or your on-prem data center. You control the network, you control the keys, you pass any security audit.
"Full-Lifecycle" Governance
(More than just SQL)
[Problem] Platforms (like Starburst) govern SQL queries well. But 90% of the work is ETL, MLOps, and Code Review *before* the query.
[Solution] We govern the entire lifecycle. Our Data Contract manages access to Trino (Data), Gitea (Code), Spark (ETL), and KServe (ML Models).
Isolated K8s Workspaces
(True Multi-Tenancy)
[Problem] "Noisy neighbors" in K8s.
[Solution] Our Control Plane automatically creates Data Domains (e.g., "Finance") in isolated K8s namespaces with hard ResourceQuotas (CPU/Mem). You get Self-Service without Cost Overrun.
About Us
Our name defines our mission. We provide the "Hawk"—the vision, control, and precise governance—needed to manage your limitless data "Space".
Forged by Leadership, Built for Control.
Space Hawk is the product of strategic vision. Our founding team is a proven collective of a Chief Technical Officer (CTO), a Chief Data Officer (CDO), a Senior DevOps, and a Senior Data Engineer.
We've faced the 'CTO's Dilemma' not in theory, but in practice, while developing and scaling data platforms for country-level projects. We built the 'Control Plane' we—and you—always needed.
🚀 Project Status: Private PoC (MVP)
Our Progress
We are honest with our early partners. Project Space Hawk is an ambitious vision. Today, we are at the Private PoC (MVP) stage. We have proven the 'critical path' of integrations.
🎯 We Are Seeking Partners (Your "Ask")
We are bringing Space Hawk to the world to find accelerators and Design Partners. We are actively seeking:
- 1. Accelerators (Y Combinator, etc.): To help us build a B2B SaaS business.
- 2. Early Investors: We solve a $10M problem (the cost of "DIY Chaos") for every company that values Data Sovereignty.
- 3. Design Partners (Pilot Companies): Want a K8s-native Iceberg platform without the 2-year "glue code" nightmare? Let's build it together.
Control is the New Convenience.
Stop choosing between the "Golden Cage" and "DIY Chaos."
