What Is Multi Region Hosting?

Multi region hosting means running copies of your application in more than one data centre or region. Traffic can be routed to the closest or healthiest location using DNS or load balancers.

Benefits

• Improved resilience against regional outages.
• Lower latency for international users.
• More flexibility for maintenance and upgrades.

Complexity to Consider

Multi region setups introduce challenges around data synchronisation, deployment and cost. They are usually appropriate only once a project grows beyond the limits of single region hosting.
