Curious about this too, though tbh the search call becomes a new data path to China even if the model runs in the EU. Has anyone found an EU-hosted search API that's close on price? What about quality of results?

Biased obviously, but sference.com. We deployed the new checkpoint immediately. Lmk if you have any thoughts, I can send some credits...

Improved on exactly the items that I hear people complain about with the previous checkpoint!
Make sense tbh but I do wonder if then they claim they run in a more environmentally friendly way? Honestly, it's only ever German customers that ask about data center environmental facts...

Disclosure: I run sference, which is also EU-based inference.

Honestly I think it will be tough to beat French DCs when it comes to energy cleanliness...

Sentry (sentry.io) | senior software engineer, Rust | Vienna, Austria OR Remote (EU) | https://sentry.io/careers/4635809/

As a Senior Software Engineer on our client infrastructure team, you'll join a cross-functional group of Software Engineers that is responsible for the client-facing operation of Sentry. This includes building and maintaining our event ingestion and processing pipeline, most notably Relay (https://github.com/getsentry/relay). This means you will be involved in the design and evolution of both external and internal services, as well as create new mission-critical software at Sentry.

If you like system programming, know Rust (or another systems programming language) and want to work on mission-critical high-volume services, this is the role for you. And your contributions are open source!

Hey everyone!

We started building Specto 2 years ago because we recognized that user expectations for high quality mobile app experiences were growing, but there was a lack of focused tooling to help teams deliver on the goal of performance as a feature. We want to help mobile teams of all sizes stay competitive and ship fast, smooth mobile apps that will delight their users.

The team is here to answer your questions!

Specto is the next generation mobile app performance monitoring platform (APM).

We're looking for engineers passionate about performance that have experience working with Android internals. If you've built SDKs and worked on performance profiling even better. We use predominantly Kotlin and some C++ for shared internals with iOS.

We're a team of ex. Facebook, Twitter, Airbnb and Algolia engineers with extensive experience in mobile infrastructure. We're well funded by a few infrastructure-focused investors.
