Fire your cloud provider. Keep your runway.

Post-seed to Series B SaaS teams burn €15k+/month on cloud they can't leave. We cut costs 60%, reclaim EU data sovereignty, and hand your team a stack they fully own — in 90 days.

We're engineers who've been there

Built in the trenches, not in theory

Engineers First

We've shipped production systems at scale and watched vendor dependency destroy teams. We proved a €7.59/month EU VPS handles 500+ RPS because the alternative actually works.

Cloud Skeptics

We've seen €8k/month AWS bills for 100 RPS. We've seen the one engineer who understood CloudFormation quit. Vendor dependency is a business risk. We treat it like one.

Disappearing Act

After 90 days, every config is in your repo, every tool is standard, every decision is yours. Deploy, debug, scale — without us, without AWS, without anyone's permission.

Three steps to independence

From vendor dependency to full ownership in weeks, not quarters

01

Free Independence Audit (1-2 hours)

We map your infrastructure, vendor dependencies, and data residency gaps. You see what staying costs and what freedom looks like. No pitch, no obligation.

02

Pilot Migration (from €5k)

Migrate 1-3 services to sovereign EU infrastructure. Prove real cost savings — typically €5k-15k/month — before committing to the full stack.

03

Full Migration (Custom pricing)

Complete operational independence. Your team trained to deploy, debug, and scale without us. Every config in your repo. Runbook delivered. We disappear.

Why operational sovereignty matters

Vendor dependency isn't just expensive. It's a business risk.

Shield Your Runway

AWS raised egress pricing 3x in 2024. Even after Hetzner's recent adjustment, you're paying 10x less than equivalent AWS. More importantly: standard Docker means you can move to any provider in hours. Your runway isn't held hostage by anyone.

Beyond GDPR: True Sovereignty

The US CLOUD Act lets American authorities compel AWS, Azure, and GCP to hand over EU-stored data — GDPR alone doesn't protect you. NIS2 and DORA are pushing European companies toward sovereign infrastructure. We move you to EU-owned providers, outside US legal jurisdiction entirely.

Zero Lock-in. No Exceptions.

Every config lives in your GitHub repo. Standard Docker + PostgreSQL + Nginx — any engineer can run it. You're never one pricing change away from a crisis.

Own Every Decision

After 90 days: deploy with `git push`, debug with `docker logs`, scale without calling anyone. Your infrastructure governed by EU law, not a Seattle arbitration clause. No permission required.

How we work

Efficiency by design, independence by default

Business-First Architecture

Every decision starts with: does this create dependency you don't want? VPS for predictability, hybrid when proven necessary. Your business drives the stack — not vendor incentives.

No Recurring Meetings

All updates in GitHub issues and PRs. Your team ships features, not attends standups.

Async by Default

Context in issues, reviews in PRs, decisions in comments. Work across timezones without friction.

We Fire Ourselves

Every config goes in your repo. After 90 days, you don't need us — or any vendor. That's the contract.

What you get

Non-negotiables that define our deliverables

Resilient, Sovereign Architecture

Proven at 500+ RPS on €7.59/month. EU data residency by default. No vendor lock-in. Infrastructure designed for your growth — not a hyperscaler's pricing model.

Engineer Empowerment

Deploy with `git push`, debug with `docker logs` — no IAM, no 7-service pipeline, no tribal knowledge. Your team owns production completely.

Tests + Runbooks

Every migration includes integration tests, health checks, and a single-page runbook. No bus factor. No knowledge that walks out the door.

Real-world infrastructure stories

No theory. No vendor pitch. Just what actually happened when we tested it.

The €8 to €800 Scaling Roadmap

Most scaling problems aren't technical—they're operational. Here's a framework to diagnose when you actually need infrastructure complexity versus when simpler architecture would serve you better.

Frequently asked questions

Handling the objections, engineer to engineer

Why VPS over cloud?

VPS gives you predictable costs and operational independence. We pair it with Cloudflare for CDN and DDoS protection. No lock-in, no YAML hell, no vendor holding your architecture hostage.

How does this scale?

Vertical scaling gets you to 50k users easily. If you hit that, we add read replicas — not before. Most 'scale' problems are premature optimization sold by vendors who profit from complexity.

What's the catch?

We're not a fit if you need multi-region failover today, if you have a dedicated platform team (20+ engineers), or if you think Kubernetes is 'simple'. This is for post-seed to Series B teams who want to ship features — not manage infrastructure.

What if the VPS dies?

We run two instances with a floating IP. Cheaper than one EC2 with redundancy, and failover is automatic. You own both instances and the failover config — no vendor to call.

Won't investors freak out?

Hetzner is a €1B EU company with better uptime than most startups' AWS setups. And the regulatory wind is at your back — NIS2, DORA, and EUCS are all pushing toward EU infrastructure sovereignty. Investors increasingly see US vendor dependency as a risk, not a feature.

What about GDPR compliance?

All infrastructure stays in EU data centers under EU legal jurisdiction. Unlike US-owned cloud providers, there's no CLOUD Act exposure — US authorities cannot compel data handover. GDPR-compliant by default. NIS2 and DORA-ready. No DPA negotiations with a US vendor.

Aren't we trading AWS lock-in for Hetzner lock-in?

No. AWS lock-in means proprietary services (Lambda, RDS, IAM, CloudFormation) that only run on AWS. Our stack is Docker + standard PostgreSQL + Nginx. Same tools, any provider. You migrate in hours.

What if Hetzner raises prices again?

Standard Docker Compose + PostgreSQL means you migrate to any VPS provider in hours, not weeks. No CloudFormation to reverse-engineer, no IAM policies to untangle. That's the point: you're not locked in to anyone.

Who is this NOT for?

Pre-traction startups (you belong on Heroku/Railway). Companies with dedicated platform teams (20+ ops engineers). Businesses needing multi-region failover today. If your infrastructure works and your team owns it — you don't need us.
