The question that stalls the project#
Somewhere between the prototype working and the thing going live, someone in legal asks where the data actually lives. On most clouds that answer takes a week to assemble, because the honest version has clauses in it. A European region operated by an American company. A processor that is compliant in the way a lawyer means, not in the way an engineer means.
The project does not fail at that point. It just stops for a month.
One sentence, no clauses#
Rock8Cloud runs in German data centres on EU-sovereign infrastructure. Your apps, your databases, your logs and your backups stay inside the EU. The company behind the platform is built in Czechia and subject to EU law, not a reseller wrapping a US hyperscaler in a European invoice.
That distinction is the whole point. GDPR applies as home turf rather than as something bolted onto a foreign cloud, and a data processing agreement is straightforward to sign because the processing genuinely happens where the contract says it does. The AI features run under the same roof as everything else, so “where does our code go when the review agent reads it” has the same one sentence answer.
Sovereignty usually costs you a quarter#
The European option normally arrives with enterprise procurement attached: a call, a pilot, a six-week onboarding, and a price sheet on request. That process exists to sell you the compliance, and you pay for it in calendar time before you have deployed anything.
Rock8Cloud is self-serve. Deploy in 60 seconds, pay a flat rate from €10 a month, invite the whole team. The answer for legal is ready before you have finished the prototype, which means the compliance conversation happens alongside the build instead of blocking it.
When the auditors do arrive#
There is room above self-serve when you need it: on-premise or private cloud deployment on your own infrastructure, SSO, and dedicated support with an SLA. Start on the plan you can sign up for yourself, move up when someone asks you to.
