## Built on Microsoft Azure

GoSmarter runs entirely on Microsoft Azure, using managed platform services in the UK and EU. We don't operate our own datacentres or bare-metal servers.

### Platform summary

GoSmarter is delivered on managed Azure services with:

- Container-based application hosting
- Managed SQL database and storage
- Managed message processing for workflows
- Centralised secrets management
- Platform monitoring and audit logging

Primary hosting for persistent services is in **UK South**, with selected supporting services in EU regions where required for capability and resilience. Identity and billing webhook processing (from Clerk and Stripe) runs as its own isolated service, separate from the main customer-facing API.

See [AI Security](../ai-security) for a high-level summary of AI processing boundaries.

### Key points for your security team

- **Managed Azure platform**: No self-managed datacentre infrastructure
- **UK-first hosting model**: Core persistent workloads hosted in UK South
- **Isolated processing model**: Application and processing workloads are separated
- **Security controls in place**: Encryption, access control, monitoring, and auditing are applied as standard
