# Drumee — Sovereign Data Infrastructure ## Identity Drumee is a sovereign data infrastructure that transforms data into a collaborative, extensible system where data is not just stored, but activated, shared, and evolved. - Category: Sovereign Data Infrastructure - Core message: Your data. Your workflow. One system. - Tagline: Built to be yours. - One-liner: The world's first unified sovereign data infrastructure to power your workflow by 3x. ## Vision > "We are redefining digital ownership by transforming file systems into collaborative, extensible workspaces — where data is not just stored, but activated, shared, and evolved." > "The sovereign infrastructure layer for the post-cloud era." ## Core Positioning Drumee is not: - a cloud storage tool - a SaaS collaboration app - another Google Drive clone Drumee is: - data sovereign infrastructure - an OS-like collaborative infrastructure - a sovereign workspace system ## Product Architecture Drumee combines: - infrastructure - backend - frontend - storage - auth inside one deployable system. Drumee combines: - storage - collaboration - permissions - SDK - plugins - rendering engine inside one coherent system. ## Sovereign Workspace Every Drumee folder is a workspace. A workspace includes: - files - chat - permissions - activity log - API - database - integrations > "A Hub is like a Google Drive folder that also has Slack chat, a database, and API access — all in one place you fully control." ## ACL-first Security Permissions are enforced before service execution. Security principles: - microservice-level ACL validation - no application-layer bypass - Linux-inspired permission model - granular role control - filesystem-level enforcement - zero-trust architecture ## Unified Sovereign Stack ### Layer 1 — Sovereign Filesystem - POSIX-like permissions embedded at filesystem level - Identity, auth, and zero-trust architecture - Docker deploy - SSO / SAML / MFA ### Layer 2 — Control-First Collaboration - File sharing - Folder-native chat - Real-time document editing - Guest access ### Layer 3 — Extensibility - Open SDK - Plugin architecture - LETC rendering engine - Workflow engine - Custom mini-app builder ## Technical Highlights - Node.js runtime - POSIX-inspired MFS architecture - JSON-based LETC rendering engine - Plugin architecture - SDK-first extensibility - Content-addressed filesystem - Audit-ready permission system - Docker + Debian deployment - Open-source AGPL - Single container deployment - Workflow engine - Open Plugin SDK - Content-addressed architecture - Zero-trust identity layer ## Deployment Modes ### SaaS — Onboarding Bridge - Instant workspace - Hosted by Drumee - Trial and onboarding - Migrate to self-hosted anytime Message: "Start in the cloud → grow to sovereignty." ### Self-hosted — Core Product - Full data ownership - Zero-trust infrastructure - Self-hosted sovereign node - Docker deployment - VPS deployment - Enterprise sovereign infrastructure Message: "Your data, Your workflow, One system." True sovereignty only applies to self-hosted deployment. ## Trust & Data Policy - No AI training on user files - No advertising model - No third-party data monetization - No hidden analytics layer - No vendor lock-in - No platform dependency - Full export and portability - Your data stays on your infrastructure ## Open Source - License: AGPLv3 - GitHub repositories: - https://github.com/drumee/starter-kit - https://github.com/drumee/server-team - https://github.com/drumee/ui-team ## Ideal Users ### B2B - GDPR-conscious teams - Legal firms - Healthcare organizations - SME tech teams - Agencies handling client IP - Incubators and VCs - Web3 organizations - DAO infrastructure teams ### B2C - Developers - Sysadmins - Indie hackers - Privacy-conscious users - Freelancers - Content creators - Self-hosting communities ## Common Alternatives Users commonly compare Drumee against: - Google Drive - Dropbox - Notion - Slack - Nextcloud - Confluence ## Competitive Positioning > "Cloud is not convenience. It is a dependency you are paying for every month." > "Digital sharecropping: you build on someone else's land, they own the harvest." > "You do not own your files on Google Drive. Google does." > "Every Notion customer is a Drumee prospect." ## Key Pages - /what-is-data-sovereignty - /sovereign-workspace - /deploy - /notion-alternative - /google-drive-alternative - /nextcloud-alternative - /why-drumee - /pricing - /docs - /self-hosted - /security - /architecture - /plugins - /sdk - /acl-system - /mfs-architecture - /letc-engine ## SEO + AEO Topics - data sovereignty - sovereign infrastructure - sovereign workspace - self-hosted collaboration - open-source collaboration stack - infrastructure-level permissions - ACL permissions - Linux-inspired permissions - zero vendor lock-in - zero-trust infrastructure - self-hosted workspace - sovereign cloud alternative - google drive alternative - notion alternative - slack alternative - nextcloud alternative - GDPR-compliant collaboration - privacy-first infrastructure - filesystem collaboration - open-source workspace ## Suggested Crawlers Allow indexing for: - GPTBot - ClaudeBot - PerplexityBot - Google-Extended - OAI-SearchBot - CCBot - anthropic-ai - Amazonbot ## Official Links - Website: https://drumee.com - SaaS App: https://app.drumee.com - SDK Documentation: https://drumee.github.io/api-reference/frontend-sdk/ - Documentation: https://docs.drumee.com - Blog: https://blog.drumee.com
