Understanding Galaxy Metal Infrastructure
Galaxy Metal delivers faster builds, enhanced security, and superior performance for all your applications.
What is Galaxy Metal?
Galaxy Metal is our complete rebuild of the hosting platform. It's built on bare metal servers with direct hardware access and no virtualization overhead. All Galaxy applications run on this infrastructure, giving you faster builds, enhanced security, and superior performance.
The best part? You don't have to do anything. It just works.
Already Running on Metal
Every Galaxy app runs on Metal infrastructure. You get the performance boost automatically, no configuration needed.
Why Galaxy Metal Matters
We built Galaxy Metal to give you faster deployments, better security, and more powerful performance without adding complexity. Here's what you get:
Faster Builds and Deploys
Less time waiting for builds to finish, more time developing. Deployments that used to take minutes now finish in seconds. We've eliminated build queues and achieved 3x faster builds overall.
Enhanced Security
Enterprise-grade features built into the platform: role-based access control, network policies, and comprehensive audit logging. No "enterprise tier" required for security fundamentals.
Superior Performance
Direct hardware access means no virtualization overhead. Dedicated, stable hardware with no "noisy neighbor" issues. Your app gets the full power of the physical server with nothing in between.
Zero-Downtime Deployments
Your app stays live while we deploy. Blue-green deployments ensure your new version is fully tested before we switch traffic over, and it happens faster than ever.
Data Security and Compliance
Galaxy Metal maintains rigorous security and data protection standards. Your data is protected under our comprehensive security framework, with enterprise-grade encryption and industry-standard compliance.
Currently GDPR compliant with Data Processing Agreements available for all customers. We're also working on SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications throughout 2026 to support customers with strict compliance requirements.

Cloud Architecture and Data Sovereignty
Galaxy Metal uses a cloud-agnostic architecture. This means we can deploy your application on the infrastructure that best fits your needs, whether that's for compliance, performance, or business requirements.
EU Region and Data Sovereignty
If data residency matters for your compliance requirements, Galaxy's EU region runs on OVHcloud, a French company headquartered in Roubaix. This means your data stays in Europe on European-owned infrastructure, subject to EU jurisdiction rather than the US Cloud Act. There's no extra cost for this flexibility; it's part of Galaxy Metal.
Custom Infrastructure Needs
If your application requires specific infrastructure considerations for technical or compliance reasons, reach out to our support team. We'll work with you to find the right solution for your use case.

Do You Need to Do Anything?
Short answer: Nope. Not a thing.
Long answer: Galaxy runs all apps on Metal infrastructure automatically. You don't need to change your workflow, update your code, or modify your deployment process. Everything just works, except faster.
