Sovrium, the sovereignty element

Own your data. Own your tools. Own your future.

Break free from SaaS dependency with a self-hosted, configuration-driven platform that puts you back in control.

The SaaS Dependency Crisis

20+

SaaS subscriptions per company

$10,000+

Monthly fees for mid-sized teams

100%

Vendor lock-in with no-code tools

The Hidden Costs

Loss of Sovereignty: Your business logic lives on someone else's platform
Compounding Expenses: Per-user pricing scales exponentially with growth
Feature Dependency: Can't build what you need—only what vendors provide
Engineering Distraction: Teams waste time integrating incompatible tools
Strategic Risk: Business continuity depends on external companies

The Solution: Sovrium

A self-hosted, configuration-driven platform that interprets JSON to build full-featured web applications—without code generation, without vendor lock-in, without loss of control.

{
  "name": "Company CRM",
  "tables": [ /* your data structures */ ],
  "pages": [ /* your web interfaces */ ],
  "automations": [ /* your workflows */ ],
  "connections": [ /* your integrations */ ]
}

One command to run:

bun run sovrium start config.json

You write

JSON configuration describing your business needs

2
