Here's the full residency surface — logs, ML tooling, backups, CI/CD — that regulated teams miss until it's too late.

Data residency looks like a storage rule, but it's really an infrastructure design problem: compliance depends on controlling where data, compute, ML jobs, logs, backups, and access actually live, not just where the primary database sits. Teams that make their platforms portable, reproducible, and region-aware before regulation forces the issue avoid turning a legal requirement into a migration scramble.
