Runway
Runway’s public product and developer docs show a proprietary, cloud-hosted AI platform with first-party APIs and an internal model catalog rather than exposed third-party foundational model dependencies. The available evidence supports AWS as the most likely cloud footprint, but the exact database technologies and compliance attestations are not publicly confirmed in the sources provided.
