Ekalix · a product-based software company

See it all.Then build what comes next.

Ekalix builds software for the systems businesses run on. Ekalix Radar, our first product, watches SQL Server and Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Windows, Linux and IIS from one screen. Around it, our Academy trains engineers, our Services team does hands-on estate work, and Research is pointed at what's next.

Internships at Ekalix

Learn by shipping real software.

A small number of students and recent graduates work on Ekalix Radar itself - the monitoring software companies run - with a named mentor, code reviews and demos. Selection-based, remote-friendly, one to six months, and a stipend set out in your offer letter. There is no fee of any kind: you never pay to be an Ekalix intern.

  • Real product work - C# and .NET, JavaScript, SQL Server and PostgreSQL, PowerShell, testing and documentation.
  • A named mentor who reviews every piece of your work.
  • An internship certificate with your evaluation, and a recommendation letter for strong performers.

How we build

Five rules in everything we ship.

Read-only by design

Radar reads, explains and alerts. It doesn't change what it watches - the one optional exception is an event session that captures deadlocks and long queries, offered when you add a SQL Server and easy to leave off.

Your data stays yours

Everything Radar keeps lives in one SQL Server database you name and control, inside your own network. Nothing is sent to an Ekalix-run service.

Plain English, every time

Every finding says what happened, why it matters and what to do next - written by a built-in rule engine, with no network call and no AI needed.

AI optional, and disclosed

Connect OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic or a self-hosted Ollama model for a fuller explanation - off until an administrator turns it on, and every call recorded in the audit log.

Honest about the edges

We say plainly what a product doesn't do yet. Our own pages list it, rather than leaving you to find out after you've bought it.
