When we started building FoundryDB, one of the first decisions was where to run the infrastructure. The answer shaped everything that followed: we chose to build exclusively on European cloud providers, starting with UpCloud, a Finnish infrastructure company operating under EU law.

This was not a marketing decision. It was a legal and architectural one. If you store customer data in databases, the jurisdiction of the infrastructure underneath those databases determines what legal regime governs access to that data. For many organizations in Europe, this distinction is no longer optional.
