We build and optimize EU-first, open-source cloud, software, and IT systems for mission-driven and forward-thinking businesses.
All our services prioritize EU compliance and open-source solutions—because we believe in tech that's transparent, scalable, and free from vendor lock-in.
Depending on your needs, we can set you up with any solution, such as Nextcloud or Google Workspace, and define the organizational structure.
We design, migrate, and optimize cloud infrastructure (e.g., Scaleway, OVH) for cost, performance, and security.
We map your data flows, plan a staged migration to EU-hosted and/or open-source equivalents, and document compliance as we go.
We build the internal tooling and automations around your existing stack—owned by you, in code you can read.
VardaLabs is a small, senior team. We plan the system, build it with open tools, hand you the keys, and stay around for as long as you need us.
The company is founded and run by Halvard Mørstad, a principal engineer with more than 10 years across cloud, infrastructure, and product development.
EU-first, open-source solutions to ensure data control and compliance.
Clear processes, no hidden costs, and honest advice.
Solutions that grow with your business, not against it.
We work with you, not just for you.
Tell us where your stack hurts. We'll come back with an honest assessment—no pitch deck, no lock-in.
