European database providers
European-founded database projects and managed database providers.
A database is where an app stores its information. That store often holds your users' personal data. A European provider keeps it under EU law. Aiven, from Finland, runs managed databases on the cloud you choose. Qdrant and Weaviate are European projects built for AI search. Your data layer stays under European rules.
