EU hosting → Sweden
Swedish FastAPI teams building Python APIs for the Nordic market want EU residency and a clean DPA. Hostim runs FastAPI in Falkenstein, with typical RTT around 28 ms to Stockholm. Long-lived containers, persistent volumes for models, managed PostgreSQL.

image: postgres:16Sweden has IMY (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten) supervising GDPR. Swedish SaaS buyers ask for EU residency and a sub-processor list. Hostim's answer is short: Falkenstein, German operator, Stripe for payments, no other sub-processors for application data. FastAPI runs as a long-lived async server; ML model weights live on a persistent volume so they do not redownload on every redeploy. RTT from Stockholm is 28 ms — fine for any non-real-time API workload.
Latency. Typical RTT from Stockholm to our Falkenstein region is around 28 ms. Swedish buyers expect EU data residency and care about a clear DPA. The market is small but technically demanding — Sweden is overrepresented in Spring Boot, Java and Python work. Stockholm to Falkenstein is typically 28 ms.
Regulator. IMY (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten).
Local law. Dataskyddslagen, the Swedish supplement to GDPR. Hostim is operated by HOSTIM.DEV UG, a German company, with all data in Falkenstein, Germany — there is no transfer outside the EU for application data.
Local alternatives you may have considered: Glesys, City Network, Loopia, Binero.
FastAPI hosting means running a Uvicorn or Gunicorn-Uvicorn worker process and exposing it over HTTPS. The framework is async by default, so the host has to support long-lived connections — websockets, server-sent events, streaming responses.
Hostim runs your FastAPI Docker image as a normal container. Long-lived connections work. Managed PostgreSQL is attached at runtime. If you serve an ML model, mount a persistent volume for the weights so they do not redownload on every deploy.
Cold starts from serverless platforms are not a fit for ML inference workloads. Hostim runs a permanent container, so model weights stay in memory across requests.

Typisk RTT från Stockholm till Falkenstein är 28 ms via direkta nätverksvägar. För en FastAPI-applikation är det knappt märkbart.
A Data Processing Agreement is available on request, in English. The substance meets GDPR and the Swedish dataskyddslag.
Mount a persistent volume at /models and load weights from there at container startup. The volume survives deploys.
