Data residency.
helpcode is hosted in Frankfurt (Germany). Production data — knowledge-base content, conversation transcripts, embeddings — never leaves the EU at rest. In transit, the only egress is to model-provider endpoints; you can pin those to EU endpoints as well.
In three points
.01
Compute
Frankfurt cluster, EU operators, EU on-call rotation.
.02
Storage
Postgres + object storage, both Frankfurt. Backups stay in the EU.
.03
Model providers
Choose between Anthropic (EU), OpenAI (EU), Mistral (Paris). Bedrock EU available on enterprise plans.
