It is going through GDPR review, then permitting, and then a few other country-specific reviews. Check back in 6-11 years.

I generally just search around.

Btw: if you are interested in this, note that it often isn’t clear cut where a company is from.

For example: https://european-alternatives.eu/product/zitadel bills itself as a swiss company, and it might technically be one, but it looks very much like a general SF startup to me (business address in sf, all investors are US based)

Amazon, Google and Microsoft all have now Digital Sovereignty positions and crooks of all kinds fill the niches.

Nothing unusual here.

Curious about the motivation. The current conflict in Iran once again reminds us of how it;s all intertwined. The blockade of Strait of Hormuz means helium shortages means no chip production, means your EU based alternative is not getting chips so you really don't have an alternative unless you can somehow magically wish a whole fairly alternative supply chain of EU based rare minerals, fabs, nvidias etc

https://euro-stack.com/ (which I'm personally managing myself), among others.

I'll use the opportunity to ask what's the cheapest cold storage in the EU? I am looking for an alternative to AWS Glacier Deep Archive.

Switching software [0] which has a repository on Codeberg [1] and an account on the fediverse [2]. It is not focused directly on EU alternatives, but:

> switching.software is a grassroots website, that is trying to let people know about ethical and easy-to-use alternatives to well-known websites, apps and other software. It is specifically aimed at a non-technical audience.

Just use whatever works best for you. Why bother wasting brain cells on where it comes from? Seems like extra steps for the sake of it.

Instead of Apache Server I migrated to EuroApache Server

Its similar but slightly less friendly and doesn't require a tip

I am working on IronCalc[1]. A spreadsheet engine. We are not an alternative yet. As it is not a finished product. But, if we are successful, we should be a good alternative to traditional spreadsheet software.

I had this website in my bookmarks https://www.goeuropean.org/, but I'm not sure if it's up to date. If that helps...

for cloud/VPS hosting hetzner has been solid for me. their object storage is S3-compatible and way cheaper than AWS. the only downside is the region options are limited to EU which is actually a feature if you're targeting EU users. for the directory question, euro-stack.com linked above looks more maintained than european-alternatives.eu. i also just search "X alternative EU" whenever i need something specific

The EU are the ones freezing people's bank accounts and cancelling everyone they don't like, sanctioning people countries for not being woke enough, etc. I'd much rather use US based services or self-hosting.

here is how MEGA movement started in tech( make europe great again), with Orban in charge :)

PSA, this isn't satire, it's a real site. Take it seriously.
