Congrats on the launch! Does all this run in Steamship's own AWS cloud, or on the customer's own private AWS cloud? Perhaps the latter is a "premium" feature.

And I assume AWS is completely dominant in this space? I.e. no Azure or Google Cloud...

Thanks!

We're built atop AWS at the moment, but we're designed in a way that's friendly to cloud-agnostic / private-VPC usage down the road if that becomes critical.

For now, we're focused on public API endpoints in which we shard data across different "workspaces" in the background. Each workspace is a combination of stateful data (relations, vectors, binary), infrastructure (models), and plugins (connections to other services).

When you import & use a Steamship Package, you pass it an identifier that binds it to the particular workspace you want to operate out of.
