Building European Sovereign Private PaaS with codbex

As Europe accelerates its push for digital sovereignty, enterprises are rethinking their dependence on hyperscalers and non-European platforms. The goal is clear: regain control over data, infrastructure, and innovation - without sacrificing developer productivity or enterprise-grade capabilities. This is where codbex steps in.
We enable enterprises to build a fully capable private Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) on top of sovereign European Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers. By combining cloud-native abstractions with deep enterprise integration, codbex delivers the benefits of modern PaaS - while keeping data, workloads, and governance firmly within Europe.
Enterprise PaaS, Without Compromise
Unlike generic container platforms or developer tools, codbex is designed as a complete application platform:
- Application development and runtime (Java, JavaScript, APIs, events)
- Workflow and process automation (BPMN-based, enterprise-ready)
- Integrated data services and analytics
- Built-in security, identity, and lifecycle management
- Multi-tenant and self-service capabilities for internal teams
All of this runs on sovereign European IaaS - such as EU-based cloud providers and on-premise infrastructure - ensuring compliance with GDPR, data residency requirements, and sector-specific regulations.
Enterprise - Ready Benefits
By leveraging Codbex, organizations can:
- Model, generate, and iterate applications rapidly with visual design tooling.
- Automate processes intelligently and integrate them with domain models.
- Create seamless, responsive user experiences with low-code UI builders.
- Connect systems and data via built-in integration services.
- Extend the platform with pro-code capabilities for custom business logic and integrations.

Sovereignty by Design
codbex is not a wrapper around foreign hyperscaler services. It is an open, standards-based platform built on decades of enterprise software engineering, enabling:
- Full control over deployment, upgrades, and operations
- Independence from vendor lock-in
- Transparency at the infrastructure, platform, and application layers
This makes codbex a strong foundation for governments, regulated industries, and large enterprises seeking long-term strategic autonomy.
Suitability for Public Sector and Regulated Environments
codbex is designed to meet the structural, regulatory, and operational requirements of public-sector organizations and regulated industries within the European Union. The platform enables public institutions to build and operate a sovereign, secure, and future-proof Private PaaS while maintaining full control over data, infrastructure, and governance.
Strategic Partnerships
codbex is not positioned as a standalone technology vendor, but as a strategic platform partner embedded in the European enterprise and cloud ecosystem. Our partnerships reinforce our commitment to sovereignty, interoperability, and long-term enterprise viability.
Open Telekom Cloud (OTC)
codbex is strategically aligned with Open Telekom Cloud (OTC) as a leading sovereign IaaS provider in Europe. OTC offers:
- Full data residency within the EU
- Compliance with European regulations and public-sector requirements
- Transparent operations under European jurisdiction
By running codbex on OTC, enterprises can build a fully sovereign private PaaS that combines modern cloud-native capabilities with trusted European infrastructure - without reliance on non-EU hyperscalers.
SAP Ecosystem and Enterprise Systems
codbex has deep roots in the SAP ecosystem, with technology and expertise originating from decades of SAP enterprise platform development. As a result, codbex is a natural choice for organizations looking to:
- Modernize SAP landscapes
- Migrate from SAP BW or SAP HANA to open and cloud-native architectures
- Integrate SAP ERP and S/4HANA with modern data platforms and workflows
codbex acts as a bridge between SAP and the open cloud world, enabling gradual transformation without disruptive rewrites.
Open Standards and Technology Partners
Beyond OTC and SAP, codbex is built around open standards and widely adopted technologies, ensuring interoperability and long-term freedom of choice:
- Kubernetes and container-native runtimes
- BPMN, CMIS, SQL, REST, and event-driven architectures
- Integration with modern data platforms, analytics tools, and CI/CD pipelines
This partner-first approach allows enterprises to compose their own sovereign platform stack - aligned with internal policies, industry regulations, and strategic goals.
Make Europe Great Again - Digitally

Europe’s competitiveness depends on its ability to innovate on its own terms. With codbex, organizations can build modern, scalable, and secure platforms - made in Europe, running in Europe, and governed by European values.
Private PaaS on sovereign IaaS is no longer a trade-off. With codbex, it is a strategic advantage.
