VERDICT

Should I use Liquid Reply | Platform Engineering & Sovereign Cloud?

We design, build and operate cloud native platforms on open source, and migrate regulated workloads into sovereign cloud. Engineered in Europe. - liquidreply.net

Depends. Buy if you are a regulated European enterprise that needs Kubernetes platforms built and operated under EU data-sovereignty rules — that is exactly this consultancy's specialty. Skip it if you want self-serve software, listed pricing, or you are a small team a managed Kubernetes service already covers.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~14 public sources, mostly vendor-published; no independent user reviews found.

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

No listed pricing. Consulting day-rates, not subscriptions — confirm scope and budget before signing.

They also operate the platform long-term — potential dependency and lock-in to the consultancy.

medium

Guess: regulated-workload migrations take months; plan a long program, not a quick switch.

medium

No public security page; ask directly for certifications and audit reports.
