Building AI features for clients in the DACH region (Germany/Austria/Switzerland) is currently a compliance nightmare. Legal departments often block US hyperscalers (OpenAI/Azure/AWS) due to US Cloud Act exposure and GDPR concerns. The alternative is renting bare metal and managing GPUs/Docker/Drivers yourself, which kills development velocity.
I built a managed inference layer on top of dedicated GPUs (in Europe). It exposes an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint.
Tech Stack:
- Sveltekit (app)
- Bun (proxy/router)
- Ollama (inference)
- Some GPU Servers
- Models: Currently serving supa:instant (Qwen3-0.6b) and supa:fast(Qwen3-8b).
- Privacy: Zero data retention logging. No data leaves Germany.
We are in beta. I'm looking for feedback on latency and API compatibility. The current setup allows testing without a credit card.
Happy to answer any questions about the infrastructure or the regulatory landscape in Germany!
