STQRY Introduces Multi-Region Hosting

Setting a New Standard for Data Privacy Protection and Data Sovereignty

At STQRY, we are proud to announce our latest innovation: multi-region hosting. This new capability is a significant advancement for our customers, particularly cultural organizations in Canada, Australia, and the EU. Multi-region hosting prioritizes data sovereignty and ensures robust data privacy protection, making app building faster and more efficient for users in these regions.

Getting started with STQRY's global hosting is as simple as selecting where you want your data to be hosted from a drop-down menu.

With a global customer base of over 1,300 customers across 45 countries, data privacy protection and data sovereignty have always been paramount for us. Our new multi-region hosting capability underscores this commitment, allowing us to meet the needs of our diverse and international user base more effectively.

Glen Barnes, Chief Product Officer, emphasizes the importance of this feature:

“Data sovereignty is no longer a nice to have; it’s a must-have. It’s something we’ve been thinking about for a long time. It’s taken a lot of work to get to this point, but we’re excited about the possibilities it opens up for our international customers.”

Thomas Dunne, Chief Executive Officer, shares his excitement about this milestone:

“By introducing global hosting, we are setting a new benchmark in our industry for data privacy and sovereignty. This innovation not only reflects our commitment to our customers but also positions us as pioneers in providing secure, localized storytelling solutions worldwide.”

For the past 18 years, STQRY has prioritized data privacy protection. By default, we store as little personal data as possible. This announcement is part of our ongoing efforts in security and data governance to ensure we remain the best platform for our customers.

Significance of Multi-Region Hosting

Multi-region hosting enhances data privacy by allowing data to be stored and managed within specific regions, ensuring compliance with local data protection laws. Additionally, it improves performance by enabling faster app building and content delivery for customers in the EU, Canada, and Australia. This capability also provides flexibility and scalability, allowing us to roll out other regions as required for our customers. Later this year, we will offer hosting in Singapore.

Getting Started with Multi-Region Hosting

Getting started with multi-region hosting is easy:

  • Sign Up: When you sign up for an account, simply select where you want your data to be hosted from a simple drop-down menu.
  • Multiple Accounts: If you have multiple accounts with STQRY, you can host data in different regions per account.
