EU Data Residency Lint (Terraform, GDPR Ch. V)

Runs the same checker as our npm package on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (nodejs-wheel-binaries) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

Every cloud region in your infrastructure code, mapped to a country and the transfer basis it needs.

Install

eu-data-residency-lint file

Node 18+. The same 18 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• Open any Terraform, Bicep or YAML file and see every cloud region that leaves the EEA — 18 checks against a 64-region table, each finding naming the country and the legal basis that region would need. No key, no limit, no watermark.
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• Sweep the whole repository in one command and keep a dated Chapter V transfer register in Markdown: every file, line, region, country and adequacy status in one document you can hand to an auditor.

eu-data-residency-lint --dir ./templates --report html --out report.html

External privacy counsel bills from $200/hour, and a Chapter V transfer review is billed by the file.
