🇪🇺 Sovereign data & AI platform

Your Lakehouse.
Your cloud. Your jurisdiction.

Polnor is the European answer to Databricks — a managed Lakehouse, SQL warehouses, notebooks and ML, running on your own European cloud. Your data never leaves your infrastructure. No US cloud. No Cloud Act. GDPR by design.

The platform

Everything a data team needs.
None of the lock-in.

A full Databricks-class stack — lakehouse, warehouses, notebooks, ML, governance — designed to run on European infrastructure you control.

01

Iceberg Lakehouse

One open table format for all your data. Apache Iceberg on your own object storage — versioned, ACID, no lock-in. Query it from SQL, Spark or Python.

Catalog · Iceberg · Lakekeeper
02

SQL warehouses

Elastic DuckDB & Spark engines that spin up on demand on your cloud, query your tables, and stop themselves to save cost. Sub-second reads, full SQL.

DuckDB · Spark · auto-stop
03

Notebooks & jobs

Collaborative notebooks, multi-task job DAGs, scheduling, file-arrival triggers. Run on GPU or CPU compute that lives in the client's own VPC.

Notebooks · DAGs · schedules
04

ML & model serving

Experiment tracking (MLflow-compatible), a model registry with versions and aliases, a feature store, and one-click serving endpoints.

05

Governance & lineage

Per-workspace isolation, fine-grained permissions, full audit trail, column-level lineage and data-quality monitors — built in, not bolted on.

RBAC · Audit · Lineage
06

Bring your own cloud

Polnor's control plane orchestrates; your data and compute stay in your European cloud account (OVH, Scaleway). Your bucket, your keys, your VPC.

🇪🇺 Digital sovereignty

Built for Europe.
Hosted in Europe.
Governed by Europe.

Most "data platforms" quietly run on AWS, Azure or GCP — which means your most sensitive data sits under US jurisdiction. Polnor was built the other way around: European infrastructure first, so compliance is the starting point, not a paid tier.

Your data never leaves Europe

The control plane runs on OVHcloud in France (GRA9). Your tables, your object storage and your compute stay in your own European cloud account — they are never copied to a US region.

Immune to the US Cloud Act

No American hyperscaler in the loop. Polnor and your infrastructure are operated by European entities under European law — your data is out of reach of extraterritorial US subpoenas (Cloud Act, FISA 702).

GDPR by design

Data residency, per-workspace isolation, full audit trail and encryption of credentials at rest (AES-256-GCM) are built into the platform — not an add-on. You stay the data controller, end to end.

Your keys, your bucket, your VPC

Bring your own European cloud (OVH, Scaleway). Your S3 bucket, your encryption keys, your network. Polnor orchestrates; it never holds your data.

Open formats, zero lock-in

Everything is Apache Iceberg and open standards. Walk away whenever you want and take your tables with you — no proprietary format, no exit tax.

Self-hosted, even the fonts

This very page makes zero calls to US CDNs — fonts and assets are served from European infrastructure. Sovereignty isn't a slogan here, it's the default.

Architecture

A control plane you don't host.
A data plane you fully own.

Polnor splits cleanly in two: we run the orchestration; your data and compute stay in your European cloud. The two talk over a single authenticated, outbound tunnel — no inbound ports, no data exfiltration.

  1. 1

    Connect your cloud

    Bring your OVH or Scaleway account. Polnor provisions an isolated namespace and a lightweight agent inside your own VPC.

  2. 2

    Land your data

    Your data lands in your own S3 bucket as open Iceberg tables. The catalog indexes it; nothing is copied off your infrastructure.

  3. 3

    Query, build, ship

    Spin up SQL warehouses, run notebooks and job DAGs, track experiments, register models and serve them — all on your compute.

  4. 4

    Govern & prove it

    Audit trail, lineage, per-workspace isolation and data-quality monitors give you the compliance paper-trail auditors ask for.

Pricing

Pay-as-you-go.
No subscription. No lock-in.

You only pay for what you actually use. Your cloud bill stays yours — Polnor simply adds a clear margin and invoices monthly. No per-seat pricing, no annual commitment to sign before you start.

  • You pay your European cloud provider directly — at cost.
  • Polnor adds a single transparent margin on top. No seats, no minimums.
  • Compute auto-stops when idle, so you never pay for forgotten machines.
  • Open Iceberg format — no storage tax, no data-egress trap.
€0 to start — billed only on real usage

Volume commitments available — lower the margin with a 3y or 5y plan.
