Briefly

Budapest-based Bitrise is launching a data center in the Netherlands to address the growing demand for data residency in the EU. This center will be the first in Europe operated by a DevOps platform, ensuring businesses can manage data security and compliance effectively. The CEO, Barnabás Birmacher, stresses the need for autonomy, speed, and security in the face of evolving regulatory landscapes. The $3 million investment acknowledges a projected 22% growth in EU data center capacity by 2025, emphasizing Bitrise's commitment to providing reliable infrastructure for mobile development in the region.
"In an era of geopolitical volatility and increasing regulatory complexity, mobile innovation in Europe demands sovereignty, speed, and security," says Barnabás Birmacher, CEO and Co-founder of Bitrise. "By launching the first EU-hosted DevOps Platform, Bitrise is giving customers total control over their data, ensuring compliance and empowering them to scale development faster and more securely."
"We recognise the critical need for sovereign hosting solutions for mobile CI/CD infrastructure in the EU," Birmacher says. "This move not only strengthens our presence in Europe but underscores our commitment to solving the complex challenges our partners face, allowing them to innovate and scale without compromise."
