Swiss platform as a service for developers
SwitzerlandEFTA Ownership reviewed, controller unresolvedHigh non-EU dependencyScope verdict
This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.
Operational dependency warning
Current public evidence shows 5 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 4 providers: Cloudflare, Google, HubSpot, Mailchimp Mandrill. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.
Hidora is a platform as a service provider based in Switzerland. It runs applications written in a range of languages, including Go, Ruby and Java, and provides SQL and NoSQL databases as well as cache servers such as Redis and memcached, so a full stack can be deployed without administering servers yourself.
Being Swiss, Hidora sits outside the large US cloud platforms and works as a European alternative for teams that prefer their applications and data to stay in Switzerland. It suits developers who want a managed runtime rather than raw virtual machines.
Data and operations
Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.
