Service-data location

Primary production service data is hosted in the EU/EEA.
Resend
Account data, email metadata, logs, and API records are stored in the United States.
Sending region vs storage
Postscale
EU/EEA hosting is the default posture for primary production service data.
Resend
Choosing Ireland changes where email is dispatched, not where Resend account data is stored.
You need an EU contracting operator, EU/EEA-hosted primary service data, and application sending plus inbound routing, forwarding, or masked aliases. Review the DPA and subprocessors against your exact data and access requirements.
Keep Resend on your shortlist when…
You depend on its hosted React Email workflow, Broadcasts, or existing integrations, and its documented US storage fits your requirements. Postscale is not a drop-in replacement for those tools or a hosted mailbox.
No. Map html/text to html_body/text_body, translate tags, change credentials and webhook verification, and test your template and receiving flows. Postscale sending endpoints do not support Idempotency-Key; do not carry over automatic retry assumptions.
Can I keep React Email?
Yes, if you render templates to HTML in your application and send that output as html_body. Resend's hosted template editor and React Email integration are separate workflows that do not migrate automatically.
Where does Resend store service data?
Resend states that all account data, including email metadata, logs, and API records, is stored in the United States regardless of the selected sending region. Its GDPR page also identifies message content, delivery logs, webhook payloads, and account records as US-stored customer data.
Does Resend's Ireland region keep account data in the EU?
No. Resend documents that the Ireland region controls where email is routed and dispatched. It does not change the storage location of Resend account data, which remains in the United States.
Does choosing an EU provider remove every transfer consideration?
No. Postscale is operated by an EU company and hosts primary production service data in the EU/EEA, but limited network, device, and operational metadata may be processed by documented infrastructure providers under appropriate safeguards. Review the DPA and subprocessor list for your own risk assessment.
What product-email workflows does Postscale cover?
Postscale combines transactional sending through REST, SMTP, and official SDKs with inbound rules, stored message retrieval, forwarding and masked addresses, signed webhooks, delivery analytics, and DMARC reporting.
How do I migrate from Resend?
Verify a Postscale sending domain, replace the Resend endpoint and API key or SMTP credentials, import your suppression data, test delivery and webhook events, and then move production traffic. The Resend migration guide and API converter provide the exact field mappings.
