Data Residency

Where is your data stored and processed?

CodeRabbit: US cloud infrastructure. Source code is processed in US data centres for review. No EU-specific hosting option publicly documented.

Poolside: On-premise and VPC deployment with zero data egress. Customer code never leaves the customer's environment. EU organisations can deploy on their own EU infrastructure. Maximum data sovereignty.

Legal Jurisdiction

Which laws govern the company and your data?

CodeRabbit: California incorporation. US jurisdiction and CLOUD Act apply. Source code access makes jurisdiction particularly relevant.

Poolside: Delaware incorporation (US). French SAS entity exists but parent is US. CLOUD Act applies to the corporate entity, though on-premise deployment means code never reaches Poolside's infrastructure.

Regulatory Fit

Suitability for regulated industries and professional services
