Atlantis: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Atlantis is an open-source tool that runs Terraform through a pull-request workflow. Engineers propose infrastructure changes in a pull request, the plan is shown for review, and changes are applied only after approval. Atlantis works with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps. Organisations use it as a self-hosted alternative to hosted Terraform automation, such as HCP Terraform. The project describes deployment on virtual machines, Kubernetes or container services such as Fargate.

Atlantis is licensed under the Apache 2.0 licence and is published as a project of LF Projects, LLC, a Linux Foundation entity that is a non-profit in the United States. The project describes itself as self-hosted, so the server and its credentials run in the organisation's own environment. The sovereignty risk therefore sits mainly in the hosting environment and in the cloud providers and state backends that Terraform reaches. European organisations should check that the state backend and the git hosting platform they connect are located and governed in line with their requirements.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Atlantis

Atlantis 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.

Atlantis 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.

Atlantis 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 Atlantis together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
