Summary

Bitrise, a leading mobile DevOps platform, announced plans to establish a data center in the Netherlands to meet the growing demand for data residency within the European Union. This will be the first EU-based data center operated by a DevOps platform, aimed at addressing the stringent data security and compliance requirements in the region. The $3 million investment is part of Bitrise's strategy to support predicted growth in European data center capacity and to enhance operational resilience and data sovereignty. By replicating their successful US infrastructure model, Bitrise will offer EU businesses greater control over their data, helping them to scale development securely and remain competitive. The move is seen as timely due to recent regulatory changes and the need for local data processing solutions, with the European data center market projected to grow significantly. This initiative underscores Bitrise's commitment to providing a compliant and reliable solution for mobile development across the EU and UK, filling a gap left by US-based cloud providers and offering a unique advantage in the DevOps market.
