Application Solutions
Discover self-healing applications that maintain sovereignty while offering convenience.
Overview
ThreeFold Application Solutions represent a new approach to application deployment that balances ease of use with digital sovereignty. These pre-configured, self-healing applications are designed to run on the ThreeFold Grid while allowing users to maintain complete control over their infrastructure and data.
The ThreeFold Difference
Unlike traditional SaaS offerings that require surrendering control of your data to the provider, ThreeFold Application Solutions run on compute resources that remain under your sovereign control, while the solution provider manages only the application layer.

How It Works
Application Solutions on the ThreeFold Marketplace function through a unique partnership model between users and solution providers:
-
Resource Provision
You allocate compute slices from your ThreeFold account to run the application.
-
Solution Deployment
The solution provider deploys their application on your sovereign compute resources.
-
Application Management
The provider handles updates, maintenance, and ensures the application remains operational.
-
Payment Model
You pay the solution provider in TFP based on the agreed-upon pricing model.
Sovereignty Maintained
Your data and applications remain on infrastructure under your control. The solution provider cannot access your data without your explicit permission, and you can revoke their management access at any time.
