Built for security-first teams

Chalk separates between the data and control plane.


The data plane runs entirely inside your cloud. Feature computation, retrieval, and model inputs execute within your VPC. Your data stays in your environment.


The control plane handles orchestration, configuration, and metadata. It can run inside your infrastructure or in Chalk’s cloud.

Full control. Production-grade performance.

All data, features, and models remain inside your infrastructure.

Control without compromise

Deploy Chalk directly inside your AWS, GCP, or Azure environment. Keep all data, features, and models within your VPC while operating under your own IAM, networking, and encryption standards.

Performance at scale

Chalk’s engine runs on Kubernetes in your cloud environment as a gRPC service. Feature computation and retrieval execute in single-digit milliseconds, even as workloads scale horizontally across models and teams.

Optimize cloud costs

Run Chalk on your existing infrastructure to make use of your cloud credits and commitments. Simplify billing and reduce operational costs while maintaining real-time performance.

For our high-funnel search workloads, predictability matters.
