Bear Metal

Engineering Tomorrow’s Systems

Bear Metal OÜ is an experienced systems integrator specializing in high-volume, low-latency data streaming, communications infrastructure, edge computing, hardware design, and embedded development.

We help unlock tactical, near-real-time data streams from decentralized edge devices and vehicles to fuel deconfliction, reconfiguration, Machine Learning, and AI, while ensuring interoperability with regulatory frameworks.

Known for implementing large-scale, mission-critical systems in Commerce and Automotive, we are expanding into Unmanned Vehicle Technologies. We develop secure, compliant, vertically integrated autonomous solutions for Europe while maintaining our commitment to reliability and innovation.

Infrastructure setup and maintenance

Experience with infrastructure setup and maintenance for a variety of applications and platforms. Operated extreme scale infrastructure at planetary scale.

Cloud & Infrastructure

  • AWS — production cloud infrastructure: IAM, networking, compute, and managed services.
  • GCP — cloud platform delivery: VPCs, workloads, observability, and cost control.
  • Terraform — infrastructure as code: reproducible environments and safe change management.

Orchestration & Fleet

  • Kubernetes — cluster orchestration, deployments, networking, and day‑2 operations.
  • Rancher — Kubernetes fleet management: cluster lifecycle, policy, and access control.
  • Zededa — edge fleet orchestration: provisioning, updates, and secure device operations.

Observability

  • Grafana — dashboards, alerting, and operational visibility for teams and stakeholders.
  • Cortex — metrics at scale: ingestion, long-term storage, and multi-tenant query patterns.

Streaming, CDC & Processing

  • Apache Kafka — durable event streaming for high-throughput ingestion and distribution.
  • Debezium — change data capture pipelines from databases into Kafka.
  • Confluent Schema Registry — schema governance and compatibility for event/data contracts.
  • Apache Flink — stateful stream processing and low-latency transformation workloads.
  • Apache Calcite — SQL parsing/optimization and query federation across diverse sources.

Databases, Warehousing & BI

  • PostgreSQL — reliable relational database operations, performance tuning, and migrations.
  • CockroachDB — distributed SQL with resilience, geo-replication, and strong consistency.
  • YugabyteDB — distributed SQL for globally scalable transactional workloads.
  • InfluxDB — time-series data storage for metrics and telemetry use cases.
  • Apache Superset — self-service BI dashboards and exploration over operational/analytical data.
