The conversation around sovereign cloud in India is getting louder, which is welcome, but as more providers enter the space, I keep seeing the same architectural pattern, and it's worth being direct about what it misses. The pattern is familiar... take a cloud platform, host it in India, manage it end to end, call it sovereign, and let data residency carry the rest of the argument. That works for web apps and standard enterprise workloads.

This week marks the end of our fourth Civo Navigate London event, and it feels like a good moment to say that this one had a slightly different energy from the ones before it. Over the past four years, we have hosted 10 Civo Navigate events across North America, India, and Europe, and each one has taught us something new about what this community actually wants from a day like this. London 2026 was no exception, and I think this year's lineup pushed that a little further than usual.

The Civo Community Slack has become home to over 35,000 engineers, platform teams, students, and practitioners. It’s one of the things we’re most proud of, a genuine space where the people who use Civo and the people who built Civo are in the same room. Since starting the Civo Community Slack, we’ve shipped an entirely new brand, launched Konstruct, and expanded our AI infrastructure.
