Regulated organizations used to accept a trade-off: multi-tenant SaaS if you wanted to move fast, self-managed if you needed control. Most paid for control with velocity, and absorbed the cost of running everything themselves.

That trade-off is breaking down. Supervisors now treat third-party concentration as a systemic risk. A run of large-scale outages has made blast radius a board-level word. Regulated buyers have started telling SaaS providers what isolation they expect rather than asking. And AI agents working inside the perimeter have turned questions about where code lives into hard requirements.

Single-tenant, dedicated infrastructure sits at the intersection of all of it. In this 45-minute fireside chat, GitLab Field CTO George Kichukov is joined by Mayank Mittal, Engineering Platform Lead at NatWest, for a practitioner's read on why the tenancy conversation changed, what dedicated infrastructure genuinely solves, and what it does not.

What you'll learn

    • What dedicated, single-tenant infrastructure actually changes about concentration risk and blast radius, and where that argument is oversold
    • How the model redraws the responsibility line between a regulated firm and its provider
    • What regulated buyers should be asking vendors about single-tenant SaaS offerings, and mostly aren't
    • Why AI agents in the perimeter are making isolation a harder requirement

Why attend live

The interesting part of this conversation is that it goes beyond the headlines and market narratives right into practical realities, trade-offs and decisions facing regulated organisations today. Both speakers are prepared to challenge assumptions, exploring not only where dedicated infrastructure can add value, but also where its benefits may be overstated which you might not get from a vendor webinar very often.

Audience questions are answered live. Register even if the time does not work and we will send you the recording.
