Marta has spent a decade working with self-hosted and managed infrastructure, most of it migrating teams off US hyperscalers and onto European providers. She writes our hosting, developer tooling and infrastructure reviews, and maintains the criteria we use to judge whether a provider's EU data residency claim actually holds up.

Areas of focus

  • Cloud hosting
  • Developer tools
  • Self-hosting
  • Data residency

How Marta works

Every page on European Purpose passes through three people: one writes it, a second edits it, and a third checks the compliance and pricing claims. Marta takes each of those roles across different parts of the directory. Our editorial process explains what each role checks.
