Last month, we announced that you could deploy your Hasura Cloud projects to 5 different regions. Today we have added 3 new regions — Sydney, Montreal, and London. Here’s a list of the 8 regions we now support:
- Asia Pacific (Mumbai)
- Asia Pacific (Singapore)
- Asia Pacific (Sydney) — NEW 💥
- Canada East (Montreal) — NEW 💥
- Europe (Frankfurt)
- Europe (London) — NEW 💥
- US East (Ohio)
- US West (Northern California)
Region selection has the potential to improve the performance of your applications by reducing data latency between your web front-end, your Hasura Cloud GraphQL endpoint, and the databases and services you’re connecting. Deploying your app closer to your user base will also reduce response time and create a better experience for your users. Deploying your Hasura Cloud project in a specific region may help with requirements you have for data residency or data localization.
Try It Out
Selecting a region is very easy. Just go to cloud.hasura.io — create a project and then you can select a region to deploy to. Free projects will only be able to deploy to US-East, but if you upgrade to a commercial plan you can deploy to any region.
Migrating existing projects to different regions is just as easy — just go to the project settings! In the future we’ll continue to add new regions.
Get Started
If you haven’t tried Hasura Cloud, I encourage you to give it a try and see how quickly you can create a GraphQL API from an existing database. Check out our Getting Started guide, as well as our online tutorials!
