Future updates will document all relevant friction points (Docker
configuration, database setup, authentication) to contextualize deployment
architectures.
Data sovereignty and compliance
Self-hosting Worlds guarantees absolute data sovereignty. By deploying the Worlds API and its isolated components entirely within your own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), your AI agents never transmit proprietary context, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), or Protected Health Information (PHI) to third-party databases. This architecture fundamentally simplifies regulatory compliance:- SOC 2 & ISO 27001: Context graphs remain deeply nested behind your existing firewalls and identity access management.
- GDPR & CCPA: Since you control the persistence layer directly, you retain complete authority over data residency, right-to-be-forgotten requests, and administrative audit logs.
- HIPAA: Medical data never leaves your infrastructure, enabling you to build neuro-symbolic healthcare agents without requiring complex Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with external vector search providers.
