Why digital sovereignty matters with Apache Pinot

Apache Pinot is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Apache Pinot scores best on data residency.

Apache Pinot is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Apache Pinot together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
