The EU tech stack.
A reference directory of 35 European and sovereignty-friendly tools, organised by category and parent-company jurisdiction — for the functions where a European option exists. Listings describe governance and geography, not a verdict on any provider.
How to read this directory: entries are grouped by category and parent-company jurisdiction. A listing reflects governance and geography — it is not a risk score or a judgement on any US provider. Real-world sovereignty also depends on downstream factors (hosting region, CDN, sub-processors) that vary by deployment and should be independently verified.
