Know it has been asked before, but maby there are updates 
Any plans for creating EU servers?
Long story short, the company i work at has just been bought by a big +60k employees German company. That comes with new IT security guideline; one of them is “all data stored in EU”. Most of our apps are build in glide/native tables. PITA to chance (basicly rebuild) all of them in a SQL solution.
Danny,
We appreciate the strong interest in Glide from our EU customers. Right now, adding EU-based servers isn’t on our roadmap, but we understand why this is important. There are significant engineering, cost, and regulatory factors to consider, and while we continue to evaluate them, we don’t have any updates to share at this time.

Hi Danny 
Personally and professionally, I would love for the EU to have a strong software industry. In principle and in practice. I live in Germany, I am a little familiar with the stance of German and DACH companies with regards to GDPR.
You probably won’t be able to have an influence on the internal guidelines of the IT department of a conglomerate with 60k employees.
It’s important to note that when it comes to GDRP – DGSV in Germany, RGPD in France – many people including workers in IT and legal departments believe that “all data stored in EU” is a necessary condition to being GDPR-compliant. In my understanding of GDPR, this is not the case. Data need not be stored in the EU. However, an “EU-US data transfer compliance mechanism” is a necessary (and insufficient) requirement.
Hi Nathan and Marcel, No GDPR is not a problem, but that dosn’t change the company guidelines 
Thanks for answers. For now, i’m just exploring posibilities, and feeding them up the chain. Many options for how we solve this.
We might be able to classify Glide projects as “non-critical-data” and get acceptance from above. Or we can anonymize or even scramble all basic-data and descramble for use. Or classify projekts as “concepts” projects, where some data in US maby can be accepted. Or we move all data to own SQL + rebuild. Or rebuild in “code”.
Thanks for these suggestions. I need to deal with similar internal guidelines at times, and I will keep your ideas in mind.
