Haystack Enterprise Platform is an operational layer for teams building, evaluating, deploying, and governing production AI agents and applications. A visual builder, templates, custom components, and retrieval and memory settings support agent and RAG pipeline creation and debugging. Teams can compare prompts, retrieval strategies, and workflows in the Playground and Prompt Explorer, then share prototypes and gather feedback. Deployment can use deepset's managed cloud or a team's own infrastructure, with serverless autoscaling and a REST API. Governance includes role-based access, run history, traces, performance monitoring, usage reports, and guardrails. The platform lists SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification, GDPR and HIPAA compliance, CSA Star Level 1, SSO, audit logs, and pipeline isolation. Integrations include models such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, Cohere, and Gemini, and data stores such as PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Qdrant, Weaviate, and Pinecone. Pipelines can be exported as Python or YAML, and providers can be switched without rewriting code. The free Studio plan is limited to one workspace, one user, 100 pipeline hours, 50 files of up to 10MB each, and two development pipelines. Enterprise pricing is custom; deepset offers onboarding, customer success, and ongoing support.
