Ready for Peak Loads

Available when it counts. Bare.ID's SaaS operation is designed for reliability and peak loads.
Thanks to Kubernetes multi-cluster operation, your IAM platform remains stably available even with millions of logins. Especially when self-hosting Keycloak, such load peaks pose challenges for many organizations:
Cluster setup, load distribution, updates, and maintenance windows must be planned, tested, and coordinated. Bare.ID fully handles this complexity.

Questions and Answers

FAQs

Still have questions? Feel free to schedule a no-obligation discovery call.

Can Bare.ID be operated in your own data center?

Yes, Bare.ID can be operated entirely on-premise or in a private cloud. The necessary hardware requirements and an operating manual are provided to ensure smooth self-operation.

Which operating models does Bare.ID support – and how do they differ?

Bare.ID can be operated as SaaS, Hybrid, or fully Self-Hosted/On-Premises. In the SaaS model, Bare.ID handles the complete operation, including updates, monitoring, and security. Hybrid combines cloud convenience with local components, for example, for particularly critical applications. In On-Premises/Self-Hosted operation, the technical responsibility lies entirely with the customer's IT – supported by best practices and optional consulting services from Bare.ID.

Where is Bare.ID operated in the SaaS model?

Bare.ID is operated exclusively in certified data centers in Germany. All operational and security processes are carried out entirely in Germany.

What do Active-Active and Active-Passive operations mean?

Active-Active means that multiple Bare.ID instances process requests simultaneously (high availability and load distribution). Active-Passive uses standby instances that are only activated if the primary instance fails. Bare.ID supports both modes.

How can performance peaks and highly fluctuating loads be handled?

Bare.ID automatically scales in SaaS operation via a multi-cluster setup and can dynamically balance high load peaks. The platform distributes requests across multiple active nodes and automatically increases capacities.

Which compliance and security standards do SaaS operations meet?

SaaS operations comply with German security and data protection requirements, including GDPR and ISO 27001-compliant processes. Operations management adheres to BSI guidelines, including geo-redundant multi-cluster setups, continuous monitoring, and regular penetration tests. The infrastructure meets the requirements of the BSI C5 catalog (C5 conformity of the underlying data center).

Which backup strategies does Bare.ID support?

Bare.ID performs automatic backups: daily full backups, hourly incremental backups, and point-in-time recovery for the last 30 days. Via standard interfaces, companies can also export their own data from the SaaS platform and secure it themselves. For on-premise deployments, custom backup strategies can be implemented.

How is it ensured that configuration changes do not accidentally disrupt production operations?

Customers receive a dedicated staging/test environment. New policies (e.g., mandatory MFA), branding adjustments, or new integrations can be tested and approved there before going live.

How can the platform be administered without giving all admins full access?

Bare.ID supports fine-grained administrator roles. Teams like Helpdesk can be restricted to specific tasks (e.g., password or MFA reset) without being able to view or modify security-critical configurations.
