Seamlessly scale

PRO - Seamlessly scale

Mage doesn’t just process data, it revolutionizes how you think about scalability by intelligently scaling data pipelines, vertically and horizontally, in real-time while maintaining peak performance and reducing costs by up to 40%.

Automatically scale your data pipelines to handle sudden increases in volume and parallel workloads, delivering insights in record time. With thousands of concurrent jobs running smoothly, you can process large data sets without bottlenecks or performance dips.

Automatically adjusts resources to match workload spikes, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring smooth data processing.

Dynamically creates and manages block tasks, enabling thousands of parallel jobs for faster insights.

Tracks usage at the block level, so you can pinpoint inefficiencies and optimize performance in real time.

Scale at your pace

OSS - Scale at your pace

The OSS version is best suited for small, personal projects where throughput demands remain low, offering limited concurrency and requiring hands-on management to scale efficiently.

Relies on manual scaling and offers limited concurrency. Users must actively adjust resources to accommodate growing data demands.

Maximize developer velocity

PRO - Maximize developer velocity

Build reusable pipelines in half the time with Mage’s AI, team workspaces, built-in CI/CD, and more.

Spend less time on manual setups and firefighting. Mage Pro automates scaling, streamlines collaboration, and provides 24/7 expert support, so your developers can focus on building the next big feature. Jumpstart production pipelines with a fully managed environment—no more juggling capacity or chasing configuration issues.

Leverages machine intelligence to write boilerplate code, identify issues, and suggest fixes—so your team can focus on innovation.

Collaborate across multiple environments. Streamline build, test, and deployment processes directly within Mage Pro, reducing manual steps and errors.

Extend or customize core functionality through robust APIs, ensuring Mage fits seamlessly into your existing toolchain.

Delightful development

OSS - Delightful development

The OSS platform provides a powerful and flexible development experience, designed with data engineers in mind. With an intuitive interface, modular pipeline building, and a strong open-source community, it streamlines data workflow creation without unnecessary complexity.

Do-it-yourself approach with significant overhead for capacity planning, performance tuning, and manual troubleshooting—slowing down your team’s momentum.

Effective cost savings

PRO - Effective cost savings

Optimize costs with efficient resource usage, automated scaling, and built-in optimizations—get more for less with Mage.

Avoid unexpected bills and resource waste. Mage Pro optimizes usage through dynamic resource allocation, ensuring you pay only for what you truly need. Less over-provisioning means more budget for innovation, talent, and strategic initiatives.

Offload maintenance and scaling to Mage Pro, reducing both staffing overhead and on-premies hardware expenses.

Matches computing power to workload demands in real time, preventing wasteful over-provisioning.

Benefit from best-practice recommendations and support to continuously refine resource usage and curb expenses.

Cost ownership

OSS - Full cost control

Mage OSS give you complete control over costs, making it a great choice for those who want to fine-tune their infrastructure spending. With no built-in optimizations or automated scaling, resource management is entirely in your hands.

Hidden overhead and manual resource management often lead to unpredictable costs. Over time, these operational burdens can balloon and eat into your bottom line.

Increase reliability and uptime

PRO - Increase reliability and uptime

Keep your data pipelines running 24/7, even during heavy load or unforeseen spikes. Enterprise-grade security features—like RBAC and advanced observability—help protect sensitive data, while SLAs and on-call operations minimize downtime and safeguard business continuity.

Rely on dedicated professionals around the clock to troubleshoot problems, ensuring minimal disruption to your workflows.

Operate with confidence knowing uptime and response times are contractually assured.

Assign permissions at a granular level, protect sensitive data, and maintain strict compliance standards.

A strong foundation

OSS - A strong foundation

Mage OSS provides a reliable foundation for building and running data pipelines, but uptime and stability depend entirely on your infrastructure and management. Maintaining high availability requires careful monitoring and proactive intervention.

Relies on community support and self-maintenance, which can lead to longer downtimes and heightened risk when issues arise in high-stakes scenarios.

Multi-Tenant architecture

PRO - Multi-Tenant architecture

Mage Pro’s multi-tenant architecture keeps each team or client’s data completely isolated while ensuring robust performance. Scale resources independently per tenant, maintain strict security controls, and streamline cross-organization collaboration—all within a single platform.

Prevent cross-tenant data exposure and ensure compliance—even at enterprise scale. Enforce fine-grained access controls and audit trails to meet rigorous security requirements.

Allocate compute, memory, and concurrency limits on a per-tenant or per-team basis. Maintain performance guarantees and fine-tune permissions to meet diverse organizational needs.

Monitor usage, performance metrics, and user actions separately for each tenant. Quickly spot bottlenecks, allocate budgets effectively, and maintain clear oversight across all departments or client accounts.

Flexible workspace

OSS - Flexible workspace

Mage OSS provides strong in-workspace management and multi-project support, giving teams the flexibility to organize and run pipelines efficiently. While it doesn’t include built-in multi-tenancy, users can structure workspaces to manage different projects separately within a single deployment.

Open-source Mage is designed for one team or project at a time, with no built-in resource isolation for multiple organizations. Perfect for smaller environments without complex multi-tenant requirements.
