Artillery: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Artillery is an open-source toolkit for load testing, performance testing and Playwright-based end-to-end testing. It runs from the command line on a developer's machine or in a continuous integration pipeline. Artillery Cloud adds hosted features and cloud runners for teams that prefer a managed service. The core code is published on GitHub under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, while some Azure-specific modules use a different licence.

Artillery Software Inc. lists a mailing address in New York, United States, so its cloud service is subject to US jurisdiction. The open-source core, however, can be run entirely on infrastructure chosen by the user, without sending test data to the vendor. The company's security page states that customer data is stored and processed by third-party suppliers, but does not name them or their locations. European organisations that use Artillery Cloud should therefore ask for hosting details and a data processing agreement before sending any data to it.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Artillery

Artillery is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Artillery hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Artillery is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Artillery together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
