Much of today's cloud infrastructure is built on mechanistic determinism. Rigid abstractions assuming complex, regulated systems can be reduced to policy and scale.
Forge.io rejects this premise.
Healthcare systems are jurisdictional, human systems where locality, regulation, and consequence matter.
This is not cloud by abstraction.
Infrastructure grounded in place, law, and intent.The Sovereign
Foundation.
A comprehensive infrastructure for regulated compute. Guaranteed isolation, immutable provenance, and hardware-enforced residency.
Engineered for
speed, sovereignty, and control.
Forge.io leverages Firecracker microVMs to deliver a game-changing combination of security and speed. Unlike traditional heavy virtualization or shared-kernel containers, our IsoCells provide strict hardware virtualization with boot times under 125ms.
This architecture enables true multi-tenant sovereignty without the “noisy neighbor” risks or security vulnerabilities of containers.
Sub-Second Elasticity
Launch thousands of secure microVMs in milliseconds. Serverless scale with bare-metal isolation.
Compliance at the Kernel
No shared kernels. Each workload runs in its own KVM-isolated boundary, satisfying the strictest regulatory requirements (HIPAA, GDPR) by design.
Baked-In Observability
Logs, metrics, and traces are automatically emitted to your private LGTM stack. No sidecars to manage, just native insights.
The Firecracker Boundary.
Understanding the clean separation between compute isolation and platform responsibility is key to our sovereignty model.
Compute Isolation
Launches a MicroVM with its own kernel, memory space, and dedicated vCPUs. Enforced by hardware virtualization (KVM). True VM-grade isolation, not container namespaces.
Process Boundary
One workload = one machine. Nothing inside the MicroVM can see other workloads or escape the kernel boundary.
Lifecycle Management
Focuses solely on booting, starting, stopping, and tearing down the VM. It does not decide when to do this—only how.
Sovereign Storage
Managed outside the VM. Forge handles object storage, durability, and sovereignty enforcement. Firecracker simply mounts the block device.
Networking & Policy
ForgeMesh handles routing, mTLS encryption, and network isolation. Firecracker only provides the network interface (NIC).
Orchestration & Compliance
Scheduling, placement, and audit logging are handled by the platform control plane, ensuring regulatory compliance is met before the VM even boots.
Why this is fundamentally different from Docker.
Forge.io takes a fundamentally different approach to execution than standard container platforms. Traditional containers prioritise speed and density by running multiple workloads on a shared operating system kernel, relying on namespaces and policies for isolation. While effective for general-purpose applications, this model creates a soft security boundary and an expanded blast radius in the event of a kernel-level compromise.
Forge.io instead executes each workload inside a dedicated, hardware-isolated MicroVM with its own kernel, memory space, and vCPUs, enforced by hardware virtualisation. This provides true VM-grade isolation with container-like agility, dramatically reducing attack surface, simplifying auditability, and making sovereignty and compliance architectural properties rather than configuration choices.
The result is a platform designed not just to run software efficiently, but to run regulated healthcare workloads safely, predictably, and with clear operational provenance.

Security & Compliance by Default
Audit-ready from the first deployment.
Forge.io environments are built compliant. No hardening guides. No post-hoc checklists. Every action produces an immutable record.
Audit-Ready Infrastructure
Continuous compliance logging enabled by default. Export logs instantly for SOC2 (via 3verest) and HIPAA evidence collection.
Enforced Data Residency
Hardware-bounded residency. Data cannot drift to other regions because the network paths don't exist.
Immutable Provenance
Cryptographic chain of custody from source to runtime. Every artifact is signed and verified before it boots.
Compliance Ready
We sign the BAA because we built the infrastructure to honor it.
Most cloud providers view HIPAA as an add-on. Forge.io views it as the baseline. Our Business Associate Agreement isn't just legal text; it's a guarantee of our architectural integrity.
- Zero-access encryption architecture
- Audit logs immutable by default
- Data sovereignty enforcement
Developer Workflow
Deploy in minutes.
Audit in perpetuity.
Define Environment
Declare infrastructure in forge.toml. No ambiguous defaults.
Select Sovereign Region
Bind logic to jurisdiction. Data never leaves the physical boundary.
Deploy & Validate
Single command deployment with automatic compliance checks.
Built for Healthcare Operators
Built for organisations where failure has consequences.
Healthcare infrastructure is usually a compromise: secure but slow, or fast but non-compliant. We refused to accept that.
We built a cloud that treats a HIPAA violation as a kernel panic.
“Every health tech founder I meet has the same problem: they're building the future of medicine on infrastructure designed for ad tech. Forge.io is the first platform that understands regulated data isn't a compliance checkbox: it's the whole point.”
Performance & Reliability
Hyperscaler confidence. Quiet proof.
Why Forge.io
Designed for sovereignty. Not retrofitted to it.
Hyperscalers offer compliance as configuration, a shared responsibility model that puts the burden on you. Developer platforms prioritise speed over assurance. Forge.io is different: sovereignty is the architecture, not a feature flag.
Hyperscalers
"You configure compliance."
Shared responsibility model leaves gaps.
Developer Platforms
"You're on your own for audits."
Speed over sovereign assurance.
Forge.io
"Compliance is the default state."
Sovereignty baked into the silicon.
