Your backend. Already compliant.
AI tools can generate a working app in minutes, but the backend still needs auth, a database, storage, APIs. Getting all of that to run GDPR-safe in the EU usually takes weeks. Project-438 skips that part. You get the full stack, already hosted in Europe, ready to go.
import { P438 } from '@project-438/sdk' const app = new P438({ apiKey: process.env.P438_API_KEY, projectId: process.env.P438_PROJECT_ID, }) // Auto-generated REST API — no schema writing const users = await app.db .from<User>('users') .select('id', 'name', 'email') .eq('active', true) .limit(10) .get()
If your cloud provider isn't European, your data can still leave.
Even if you pick eu-west, a US-headquartered provider is still subject to laws like the CLOUD Act that can compel data access across borders. The region dropdown doesn't change where the company is incorporated.
You generate an app with Claude or Cursor. It deploys to AWS because that's the default. Works great, you share it, people sign up. Then someone asks where their data is stored, and the answer is "a US datacenter, probably." Even for an early-stage project, that's a GDPR problem. It applies from day one.
Most projects don't start thinking about this until it's expensive to fix.
Point your AI tool at Project-438 instead. Auth, database, storage, and auto-generated APIs are all running in the EU already. One SDK, one region, nothing to configure.
Skip the compliance scramble. Go straight to building.
Three steps to a full backend.
Create a project
A single API call sets up a dedicated Postgres schema, REST and GraphQL endpoints, an S3-compatible bucket, and an API key. Each project is isolated from the others.
Push a migration
Send SQL to the migrations endpoint and your REST and GraphQL APIs regenerate on their own. You don't write resolvers or route files, and there's nothing to redeploy.
Ship
Use the SDK or call the API directly. It all runs on EU infrastructure, so GDPR compliance is just how it works, not something you configure after the fact.
Get early access.
Looking for early AI builders in Europe who want a backend they don't have to apologize for.
