For potential users in Europe, is there any documentation on GDPR-related questions somewhere?

Downvoted? Why? When user-related information is outsourced, the GDPR is absolutely relevant. Even the Google(!) screenshot on the landing page shows "Privacy and personalization" as the first item, that goes to show...

Braden, one of the founders, I gave you an upvote! GDPR is definitely at the top of our mind.

We would love to make it so developers don't need to think about, or make it easy to think about, GDPR and CCPA, and any future regulations that come up.

The question becomes; where is your company incorporated, where are your servers located. I was looking around on your website and it's very light on such details.

We definitely have a lot of work to do on content and more detailed information. Turns out high quality writing takes a lot of time and effort!

Right now we're hosted on GCP in us-central. We will need to be more distributed as we start to tackle GDPR et al., making sure data is hosted in the correct location.

Does that matter really? For GDPR it's he users' location, no?

Some buisnesses, but mostly government, can not put their data on cloud services of companies that operate under laws like the US Cloud Act and similar things.

It can matter. It's possible for servers to be in country where to where you cannot export GDPR data to.

Thanks, Braden!
