Regions

Specifying a region may help on the overall latency of your app.

If you locate the app close to the database that your app is consuming, you’ll reduce the latency of your app, improving the perceived performance of the app for your user.

You can specify the region of your app using the locality.regions setting in your app.yaml.

We have created the db-latency app to showcase how using regions can improve performance for your app: https://db-latency.wasmer.app/

Right now, this are the regions that you can use Wasmer Edge in (by default apps are available in all regions):

Region	Country	City	Databases	Volumes
`fr-roub1`	France	Roubaix	✅	✅
`ca-beau1`	Canada	Beauharnois	✅	✅
`us-losa1`	United States	Los Angeles, California	✅	✅
`us-ashburn`	United States	Ashburn, Virginia	❌	❌
`us-hillsboro`	United States	Hillsboro, Oregon	❌	❌
`de-falkenstein`	Germany	Falkenstein	❌	❌

All database regions host MySQL; fr-roub1 and ca-beau1 also host PostgreSQL. See the Databases documentation for details.
