FoundryDB
The sovereign European platform for everything you build around your data.
FoundryDB started as managed databases. It is now a full application and data platform: deploy your databases, the apps that run on them, object storage, an edge gateway, background jobs, managed auth, and an AI data layer, all on European infrastructure, all from one API. You get a connection string, a live app URL, or a bucket in minutes, with no servers to configure.
The platform
FoundryDB is one platform with one control plane. A single API and dashboard provisions and manages every service family below, so you describe what you want and the control plane drives it to a running state, then keeps it healthy with automatic failover, scaling, and certificate renewal. There are no clusters to wire by hand and no second console to learn.
Everything you run is stitched onto one private software-defined network. Your app reaches its database, your jobs reach your queue, and your services reach each other east-west over private addressing that never touches the public internet. Only the surfaces you choose to expose (an app URL, an edge domain, a database endpoint) are reachable from outside, each terminating in TLS.
And it is sovereign by architecture. Every family runs on European infrastructure on the same private network, so your data and the workloads around it stay on the continent by default rather than by configuration.
The platform is organized into the headline service families below plus the platform surfaces that tie them together.
| Surface | What it gives you | Docs |
|---|---|---|
| Managed Databases | Seven fully managed engines with HA, PITR, scaling, and TLS | Databases |
| App Hosting | Deploy container apps next to your data, with HTTPS, custom domains, blue/green releases, and private app-to-app networking | App Hosting |
| Object Storage | S3-compatible buckets with scoped keys and presigned URLs | Files |
| Edge Gateway | A managed HTTP gateway and CDN: custom domains, caching, rate limiting, WAF, analytics | Edge |
| Stacks & Templates | One-button vertical starters and a marketplace of custom templates | Stacks |
| Framework | Declare your whole project as code and deploy it idempotently | Framework |
| Jobs & Queues | Scheduled and background work plus a durable message queue | Jobs & Queues |
| Managed Auth | Drop-in OIDC login for your app's end users, with social sign-in | Auth |
| AI Data Platform | Vector search, an EU-routed inference proxy with your own keys, embedding pipelines, and NL2SQL | AI Data |
| Organizations | Multi-tenant accounts, scoped tokens, usage metering, signed compliance reports | Organizations |

Why FoundryDB
- One control plane: one API and dashboard provisions, manages, and heals every service family; no per-product consoles to stitch together
- One private network: apps, storage, jobs, auth, and AI run on the same private SDN as your databases and reach each other east-west, never via the public internet
- Sovereign by architecture: EU infrastructure, GDPR-native, your data never silently leaves the continent
- AI-native: vector search, BYO-key inference routed inside the EU, and embedding pipelines that stay in Europe
- Automated provisioning: a database, app, or bucket ready in under 5 minutes
- High availability and PITR: multi-node clusters, automatic failover, restore to any second
- TLS everywhere: certificates auto-provisioned and auto-renewed on every exposed endpoint
