It targets developers, startups, and sovereignty-conscious European enterprises, competing on low cost and EU data residency. Its instance range spans the ultra-cheap Stardust line up to compute- and GPU-optimized tiers, with a free Kubernetes control plane and per-hour billing. It is ISO 27001:2022 and HDS (health-data) certified and has begun French SecNumCloud qualification. An all-European datacenter footprint (Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw) and sovereignty are central to its commercial posture.
