[ Go Europe · A practice by TEKKNA ]

Move your stack to European soil.

We migrate B2B SaaS workloads off non-EU hyperscalers onto European providers — Scaleway, Hetzner, OVHcloud, IONOS, STACKIT — for EU data residency, jurisdictional clarity, and a clean regulatory footprint. Same workloads, replatformed, not rebuilt.

EU-resident option, by tenant

[ 01 ] — Why now

Cloud sovereignty stopped being a future problem.

Schrems II was never resolved. The CLOUD Act was never rescinded. And European procurement teams have started acting on both — quietly, then suddenly.

Three forces, one direction

The CJEU’s invalidation of Privacy Shield still has no real replacement. The US CLOUD Act reaches data regardless of where the servers physically sit — “hosted in Frankfurt” is not the same as “subject to EU law.” And the EU Data Act now forces cloud providers to make switching technically possible and economically reasonable, unwinding the egress fees that used to lock customers in. We’ve laid out why EU cloud migration makes sense now in more detail.

What it means for you

Enterprise customers in the EU are starting to ask for data residency in writing, not as a nice-to-have but as a procurement gate. Teams that can answer “yes, and here’s the region” close deals the teams that can’t are losing.

[ 02 ] — The migration

Staged, not lift-and-shift.

Rewriting a working system to move it is the expensive way to do this. We replatform what runs today, in four phases, with a working rollback at every step.

[ 01 ]

Audit.

Two weeks to catalogue every dependency, every region, every data flow. You get a target-state diagram and a phased plan with real costs before anything moves.

[ 02 ]

Control plane first.

Identity, billing, observability — anything that touches every tenant — moves to an EU-resident provider while compute stays where it is and keeps serving traffic.

[ 03 ]

Data plane by tier.

Tenants who require EU residency get a dedicated EU region; everyone else stays put. Same code, same deploy pipeline, two destinations.

[ 04 ]

Convert opportunistically.

New customers go to EU by default. Existing customers convert when contracts renew or when their own procurement starts asking — on a schedule that costs you nothing extra.

[ 03 ] — The engagement

Four phases. One rollback plan.

From first audit to steady-state operation, with a person who can be reached the whole way through.

01ASSESS

Dependency audit

Every service, every region, every data flow — mapped before we plan a single move.

02REPLATFORM

Infrastructure-as-code

Target-state Terraform for the EU provider, built and tested alongside the running system.

03CUTOVER

Phased traffic shift

Tenant by tenant, with a tested rollback at every stage — no big-bang weekend migration.

04OPERATE

Steady-state on-call

The engineers who migrated it keep running it — same senior team, no handoff to a stranger.

[ 04 ] — Where you land

European providers, production-ready.

The gap to the US hyperscalers is real but small, and it shrinks every quarter. We deploy to whichever fits your workload.

Scaleway

French, developer-friendly APIs close to AWS’s own shape — usually the fastest replatform.

Hetzner

German, cost-efficient compute — a strong fit for predictable, steady-state workloads.

OVHcloud

French, broad regional footprint across the EU — useful when data residency needs to be per-country.

IONOS & STACKIT

German, enterprise-grade sovereignty guarantees — often the answer when procurement asks for one in writing.

See you on European soil.

Send us your stack. We’ll come back with a target-state diagram and a phased plan — before you commit to anything.
