A sovereign Canadian runtime.
Same Heroa guarantees. Single-tenant by default. Canadian-resident substrate in Montréal, QC (GCP northamerica-northeast1). BC court jurisdiction. BC colocation on roadmap. Built for public sector, healthcare, regulated financial services, and Canadian DSOs.
What "sovereign" means here
- Canadian-entity MSA. Contract is with a Canadian entity under Canadian law.
- BC court jurisdiction. Disputes resolve in British Columbia courts.
- No cross-border data flow. Customer data and agent state stay within Canadian borders; replication is not enabled by default.
- Contractual no-logging posture. Logs scoped to operational minimum; no content retention beyond what the customer configures.
- Canadian customer data residency. Storage, compute, and backups sit in BC.
Who it is for
- Public sector teams bound by Canadian data residency rules.
- Healthcare operators (provincial and federal) with PHI obligations.
- Regulated financial services, including credit unions and co-ops.
- Canadian DSOs, consortiums, and Crown corporations.
How it differs from standard regions
The guarantees are the same; the posture is stricter. Standard Heroa regions offer opt-in cross-region replication and a multi-tenant substrate. The bc-sovereign region is single-tenant by default, runs on a Canadian-resident substrate (today: GCP Montréal, northamerica-northeast1), and refuses cross-border replication at the policy layer.
Tenant zero
Tenant zero on bc-sovereign is the Actium BC-sovereign deployment. Actium runs its full production workload on Heroa sovereign. Mentioned plainly.
Pricing
Sovereign has its own per-minute rate, shown as a column on the pricing page next to each plan-class size's standard rate. Dedicated-substrate pricing reflects the single-tenant posture. Rates are sourced from internal/billing/pricing.go in the Heroa repo and emitted into the live data/pricing.json via a build-time snapshot.
Where it runs today, where it is going
Today the bc-sovereign substrate runs on Google Cloud's northamerica-northeast1 region (Montréal, QC) — a Canadian-resident managed-cloud zone. Customer data, audit, and execution all stay in Canada. BC colocation (dedicated racks, BC-resident operations staff, BC physical custody) is on the substrate roadmap; the underlying terraform module is provider-parameterized so a substrate migration is a provider swap, not a code rewrite.
