It now runs on Kubernetes with a cell-based architecture, custom operators, and orchestrator provisioning that takes under ten seconds. And we’re packaging the whole thing for self-hosted deployment. Why this matters If you’ve been using Expanso Cloud as a managed service, you already know the orchestrator never touches your data - it’s purely a coordination layer that tells your Edge nodes what to run and where.https://expanso.io/blog/2026-004-how-expanso-cloud-runs-kubernetes-cell-architecture/Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/blog/2026-004-how-expanso-cloud-runs-kubernetes-cell-architecture/Earlier this week we announced self-hosted Expanso on Kubernetes. This post is the technical companion - how we actually built it, what the architecture looks like inside, and why we made the decisions we did. We tell customers to process data where it lives - on edge devices, behind firewalls, across distributed infrastructure. Compute should be portable, resilient, and close to the source. That’s the whole pitch. So when we re-architected Expanso Cloud, we held ourselves to the same standard.https://expanso.io/blog/expanso-chainguard-secure-distributed-data-pipelines/Sat, 14 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/blog/expanso-chainguard-secure-distributed-data-pipelines/Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Expanso is officially partnering with Chainguard to bring secure-by-default infrastructure to distributed data systems. This launch changes what enterprises expect from distributed data pipelines. At Expanso, our mission is simple - we want to help enterprises process and govern data where it is created, rather than moving everything to a central platform, and that’s because it makes the data cheaper, faster and more compliant.https://expanso.io/news/expanso-edge-ai-foundation-defense-working-group/Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/news/expanso-edge-ai-foundation-defense-working-group/We’re joining the fight for secure, distributed AI at the tactical edge. Expanso has been selected as a founding member of the Edge AI Foundation’s Defense Working Group, alongside industry leaders like Qualcomm, Dell Technologies, and Wind River. But this isn’t just another industry consortium for us—it’s validation of the critical problem we’ve been solving: how do you run AI where traditional cloud connectivity fails? Why Defense Needs Edge-Native AI Traditional AI architectures break down in defense scenarios.https://expanso.io/news/expanso-red-hat-partnership-edge-native-processing/Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/news/expanso-red-hat-partnership-edge-native-processing/We’re thrilled to announce that Expanso has joined the Red Hat Partner Network, bringing our edge-native data processing platform directly into the OpenShift ecosystem. The Challenge Traditional data processing moves everything to the cloud—generating massive bandwidth costs and latency issues. A telecom provider processing 1TB monthly through cloud analytics can spend $750+ in ingestion and compute fees. Multiply that across thousands of edge sites, and costs explode while critical alerts arrive minutes too late.https://expanso.io/blog/your-ai-agents-are-running-naked/Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/blog/your-ai-agents-are-running-naked/So, let’s talk about what’s actually happening right now with agentic AI. Everyone’s excited - and they should be. OpenClaw, LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI - these tools are genuinely incredible. They’re writing code, browsing the web, querying databases, and orchestrating workflows autonomously. The promise of agents that actually do things instead of just talking about things is real, and it’s here today. But look at how we’re actually deploying them. We’re handing agents raw database credentials.https://expanso.io/news/expanso-joins-red-hat-partner-program/Sat, 24 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/news/expanso-joins-red-hat-partner-program/We are thrilled to announce that Expanso has been approved as a partner in the Red Hat Partner Program.

The Problem: Data Gravity Meets Security Boundaries Enterprises generate data everywhere - edge locations, on-prem facilities, air-gapped environments - but struggle to move it efficiently and securely to centralized platforms.https://expanso.io/blog/your-bronze-tier-is-a-toxic-waste-dump/Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/blog/your-bronze-tier-is-a-toxic-waste-dump/The Bronze Tier is Far From Gold: Avoiding Toxic Assets (And Other Medallion Architecture Lies) LET’S SAY you’re a hot new drone company. Doing, I don’t know, crowd counting at festivals. One 4K camera generates roughly 45 gigabytes of footage per hour. That’s your baseline. Add additional sensors (battery, motor, LiDAR for terrain mapping, thermal imaging, and flight telemetry, whatever). Call it 60 gigabytes per hour for a properly equipped commercial drone.https://expanso.io/blog/black-friday-enterprise-software/Fri, 28 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/blog/black-friday-enterprise-software/It’s Black Friday. Your inbox is full of “LAST CHANCE” emails from every SaaS tool you’ve ever signed up for. Mattress companies are offering their “lowest prices of the year” (again). Someone is definitely fighting over a television somewhere. We looked around and thought: where’s the enterprise data infrastructure Black Friday sale? Where are the doorbusters for distributed compute? Why isn’t anyone offering 50% off log processing for ONE DAY ONLY?https://expanso.io/blog/smart-log-monitoring-distributed-kubernetes/Thu, 13 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/blog/smart-log-monitoring-distributed-kubernetes/We’re here at KubeCon this week, and we’re showing something that finally makes distributed Kubernetes logging sane. If you’re running clusters in retail stores, manufacturing lines, remote facilities, or anywhere outside your main data center, come talk to us. We’ll be on the show floor all week. Kubernetes has pushed far beyond the data center. Clusters now sit in stores, factories, warehouses, fleet hubs, and edge locations where data is generated.https://expanso.io/news/three-years-working-on-global-data/Tue, 11 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/news/three-years-working-on-global-data/Three years ago, we started Expanso with a stubborn belief: data shouldn’t cost more to move than to use. We’d watched teams drown in their own success - more edge devices, more cloud regions, more data sources - each creating floods that had to ship to centralized platforms. Costs exploded. Pipelines broke. Data quality cratered. Engineers stopped innovating and started firefighting. We were done waiting for a better way. So we built one.https://expanso.io/blog/data-governance-in-big-data/Wed, 22 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/blog/data-governance-in-big-data/Data governance isn’t just compliance overhead - it’s the infrastructure that transforms chaotic “data swamps” into organized, trustworthy assets. For organizations drowning in unstructured data, governance is essential. What is Data Governance for Big Data? Think of governance as the rulebook for your company’s data - a comprehensive framework establishing policies for data access, storage, and lifecycle management. In distributed environments spanning cloud, on-premises, and edge infrastructure, governance prevents inconsistent data, compliance violations, and security breaches.https://expanso.io/news/data-breakthrough-award-2025/Sat, 15 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://expanso.io/news/data-breakthrough-award-2025/We’re honored to announce that Expanso has been recognized with the 2025 Data Breakthrough Award.
