Persistoiva

Persistoiva Oy is a Finnish software company headquartered in Tampere, Finland. It was founded in 2012 by a group of database engineers with the goal of improving software reliability through advanced persistence technologies. The company specializes in developing lightweight, high‑performance middleware that manages data synchronization, caching, and transaction handling across distributed systems.

The flagship product, Persisto, is a modular persistence framework that supports multiple relational databases and NoSQL backends. It offers declarative transaction control, automated schema migration, and real‑time data replication. Persisto is used by a range of clients, including mid‑size financial service providers, IoT platform vendors, and cloud‑native application developers. In addition to its proprietary software, Persistoiva offers consulting, integration services, and training programs for enterprise clients seeking to modernize their data infrastructure.

Over its decade of operation, Persistoiva has collaborated with several major Finnish technology firms, such as Nokia and Supercell, to embed persistence solutions into large‑scale applications. The company received the Finnish IT Innovation Award in 2018 for its contributions to scalable data management. In 2020, Persistoiva merged its technology team with the software division of the University of Tampere’s research lab, expanding its research capabilities in distributed systems.

With a workforce of approximately 70 employees, Persistoiva emphasizes a flat organizational structure and encourages continuous learning through internal workshops and external conferences. The company is committed to open‑source principles and maintains an active community on GitHub, where developers can contribute to the evolution of the Persisto framework.
