## What Raindrop is

Raindrop is an enterprise data platform with the following core properties:

- **EU data sovereignty**: All data remains within EU jurisdiction, hosted on Dutch-owned infrastructure in Amsterdam. Not subject to the US CLOUD Act.
- **GDPR-aligned**: Designed from the ground up for European regulatory requirements.
- **Green infrastructure**: Runs on LEAFCLOUD infrastructure that reuses waste server heat to warm buildings — climate-positive by design.
- **No vendor lock-in**: Built on open standards (OpenStack); workloads are portable across Azure, AWS, GCP, and on-premises.
- **Unified platform**: One coherent layer for ingestion, transformation, orchestration, metadata management, and governance.
- **Secure by default**: Tenant isolation, RBAC, external secret stores, full audit logging, and data lineage.
- **Declarative / GitOps**: Pipelines and configuration defined as versioned code, compatible with GitHub, Azure DevOps, and GitLab.

## Who Raindrop is for

European enterprise data teams in regulated sectors — finance, healthcare, government, and insurance — for whom data residency and GDPR compliance are non-negotiable.

## Competitive position

Raindrop is an alternative to Snowflake and Databricks for organizations that cannot route data through US jurisdiction or hyperscaler infrastructure. Unlike those platforms, Raindrop keeps data under EU law by default, runs on carbon-negative infrastructure, and avoids platform lock-in through open standards.
