Self-Hosting
Run Thunders inside your own network
Deploy the full Thunders platform in your cloud or datacentre. Your source code, test data, and screenshots stay inside your perimeter.
Built for teams with strict data policies
Deploy AI test automation without pushing your source code, test data, or screenshots to a vendor cloud. Keep everything inside the perimeter your compliance team already approved.
Your data never leaves your infrastructure
Your tests, test data, and screenshots stay in the region your compliance team already approved.
Bring your own LLM provider
Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OVH AI Endpoints. Route AI calls through providers your legal team has already vetted.
Authentication on Microsoft Entra ID
Sign-in runs end-to-end through Entra ID. Access maps to the groups you already manage. No open signup.
Runs on your cloud, not just ours
Azure, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, or Docker. Your platform team picks the orchestrator.
Two deployment models
Full self-hosting for teams that need everything inside their perimeter. Browser Engine via Azure Relay for teams that only need the engine locked down.
Built for regulated environments
Compatible with HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR requirements. Deployed in production by enterprises with strict data residency mandates.
Two ways to deploy
Pick the model that matches your infrastructure and your compliance requirements. Compare the two below and pick the one that fits.
Full self-hosting
The whole platform runs in your infrastructure. Thunders ships container images. Your team runs them on your cloud or on-prem.
- ✓Web app, API service, browser engine
- ✓PostgreSQL 16+ and Redis
- ✓All test data, logs, and screenshots
Your infrastructure handles everything. Thunders never sees your data. Updates ship through a dedicated container registry on the cadence that fits your change management.
Enterprises with data residency requirements, non-Azure infrastructure, or a policy that platforms must live inside their own perimeter.
Microsoft Entra ID, an email transport (SendGrid or SMTP), object storage (Azure Blob or S3-compatible), and at least one LLM provider.
Browser Engine via Azure Relay
Only the browser engine runs on your side. The Thunders cloud handles orchestration. The engine reaches us through outbound HTTPS.
- ✓A Browserless Docker instance
- ✓Outbound-only HTTPS on port 443
- ✓No inbound firewall rules or VPN
The Thunders cloud orchestrates the tests. Your QA environments never touch the public internet. Bring your own Azure Relay namespace, or use ours.
Organisations with HIPAA, SOC 2, GDPR, or data sovereignty constraints that cannot expose QA environments to the internet, but do not need the full platform on-prem.
Docker and an outbound HTTPS (443) connection. Optionally, your own Azure Relay namespace if you would rather own the transport.
When self-hosting is the answer
The environments and mandates that push teams to move the platform inside their own network.
Run AI test automation without data leaving your network
For enterprises where the answer to “where does the data go” needs to be “nowhere else.” Full self-hosting keeps every test artefact, screenshot, and log inside your network.
Meet EU data residency without giving up frontier AI
Point Thunders at OVH AI Endpoints or your own Azure OpenAI tenancy. Keep prompts and generated tests inside the jurisdiction your regulator cares about.
Automate testing on private or non-cloud environments
Applications that live behind a VPN, in a private datacentre, or on infrastructure that cannot be IP-whitelisted still get automated coverage. The browser engine relay reaches them without opening a single inbound port.
Deploy on the infrastructure you already run
Thunders ships as container images. Your platform team picks the orchestrator and the update cadence. No new vendor cloud to onboard.
