What customers say

After launching another successful IP — HUNT: Showdown, a competitive first-person PvP bounty hunting game with heavy PvE elements, Crytek aimed to bring this amazing game for its end-users. We needed a hosting provider that can offer us high-performance servers with great network speed, latency, and 24/7 support.

Stefan Neykov Crytek

doXray has been using HOSTKEY for the development and the operation of our software solutions. Our applications require the use of GPU processing power. We have been using HOSTKEY for several years and we are very satisfied with the way they operate. New requirements are setup fast and support follows up after the installation process to check if everything is as requested. Support during operations is reliable and fast.

Who Should Use a Dedicated Apache Airflow Server?

Data Engineers Managing Complex ETL Pipelines

An Airflow server is necessary to provide the performance, stability and scalability needed to handle complex ETL processes. An isolated environment makes it predictable and provides complete orchestration control when your pipelines have numerous dependencies or third-party integrations or large data flows.

Teams Running Scheduled Data Workflows Remotely

Decentralized teams require a stable execution of workflow without being concerned about configuration or availability. A hosted Apache Airflow solution allows remote teams to monitor, trigger and manage their DAGs anywhere without having to manage their servers manually.

Businesses Requiring Full Control Over Workflow Orchestration

Organizations and businesses that have stringent data security needs can use their Airflow server. Businesses have full control over the flow of data, the usage of plugins and execution of tasks with root access and customizable environments.
