It would be better if this request's name would be changed to "Multi Region Support"

+1, also a problem with Europe GDPR if US servers are used.

https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/eu-us-data-transfers_en
The EU-US Privacy shield was invalidated on 16, July 2020.
Hence, US cloud servers don't comply with GDPR & EU Privacy Laws anymore

+1 for Japan Tokyo support.

Angelo Saraceno: any ETA on this available?

Chris Hintz: No timeline for now, we have a number of infrastructural improvements that need to be completed before we pick this up. But multi-region is something we will do.

did a little mockup

maybe this should be renamed to "More Deployment Regions" as "Multi-Region" could mean like a deployment can be deployed in multiple regions (also if static deployment ips gets implemented we could also get anycast too for multi-region routing)

+1 for this. Any news about implementing EU region?

Angelo Saraceno: I Would suggest to also cover Asia as ping is Too high (minimum 298) in Countries like India and Singapore as app in deployed In US

would appreciate an asian country for wider range example japan singapore mumbai

+1 for South America

yes, +1 for EU

+1 for China

yup, +1 for EU

+1 for Singapore, Japan or India

+1 for Hong Kong

+1 for Korea, Japan

+1 for EU :-)

Angelo Saraceno: any news on multi-region, as we are 6 months further?

Chris Hintz: Critical prerequisite work has begun but no timeline for now. We want to get project networking in before we ship this feature. I wish I can give a more definitive timeline.

There appear to be different opinions of what "Multi Region Support" encompasses:
(1) being able to select/switch from a single deployment region to another
(2) Deploying possibly several redundant/replica (read-only or read/write ACID) instances at the edge across the globe
On the infrastructure level, (2) requires (1) since the support for deploying the same project in different regions has to be present first. I came here to voice my support for (2) as the ideal end-goal, with the ability to choose between configurations of both (1) and (2). I just started dabbling around with Railway, but I think having the option to pay up for edge deployments of (parts of) an entire projects environment, with configurable global instance distribution, would make Railway a go-to for simple fast deploys. Something like a competitor to Lambda@Edge (AWS, functions only), Workers (Cloudflare, limited KV database) or fly.io (no auto-scaling/fixed VM prices) with the already nice DX, GitHub integration etc. that made me try Railway :)

+1 for Korea, Japan

Lain: I really hope it 😭

Server BR please

+1 for South America

JuanM04: 🙏🏼

Agree with everyone else that an EU region would be nice. Personally I'd choose London or Frankfurt due to their excellent connectivity, but anywhere in Europe would "do".

AS location as well

+1 for EU

I've split out these into two different tickets and renamed the above
This ticket encompasses the rollout of other regions, but a singular deployment
I've created another ticket under "Replicas" for both horizontal scaling and multi region deploys
https://feedback.railway.app/feature-requests/p/replicas

Oh yes please! 🙌

+1 for EU!

+1 for Singapore

Australia (or Singapore at a stretch) support please

+1 for eu

Hi folks, is there any timeline for EU support yet?

Server BR please

Edney Silva: Thats urgent!

Please add support for BR Servers! Railway it's perfect, but lattency is a problem.

+1 for India

I'd love to have this in US-east as well. A good amount of my clients are in this timezone, so having the features of Railway but in a closer region to their app deploys would be perfect for performance.

Can't use Railway without a region in europe, due to GDPR and other concerns. This would allow us (big company) to finally give it a try

+1 for India

Rohan Rajpal: +1 for India

+1 for India

Khushal Bhardwaj (khushalbhardwaj-0111): +1 for India!

Yes!!!! Connections to an external database have really exaggerated latency.

+1 for India

Rohan Rajpal: +1 for India

Any update on this? Really needed for EU users.

What's the ETA on this, as this is planned for more then a year now?

Would love to see this in Australia.

👍

EU would be amazing (gdpr)

Yes, Brussels or Frankfurt would be great!

SA Support would be awesome too

Japan please🙏

Angelo Saraceno: In AWS terms: eu-west-2; eu-west-1.
UK and EU specifically. While a lot of crossover between EU and UK still exists, more important than ever to be able to segregate hosting between the two jurisdictions.
We can't use Railway for larger commercial, NGO and Gov use cases without the separation.

EU West / Amsterdam

Asia Pacific / SG OR HK either is fine. GCP has regions in both.

Highly recommend and request US-east, would be very helpful esp for people looking to host discord bots since discords servers are there.

ap-southeast-2 please! The latency between US-West and here is horrible

aa

EU West please

Really bad latency in Europe, Frankfurt would be a great location

Please add Europe, quite bad latency in Paris.. Unfortunately w'll have to move back to Heroku until that gets better..

frankfurt

me-south-1 🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️

Paris would be an awesome location, due to RGPD we cannot move any data to US.

Not an option for most of my apps due to GDPR until an EU region is available.

Brazil, some Government services are blocked out Brazil.

• 1 for eu servers

• 1 korea

Because of RGPD and latency in France, I can't use Railway for my app sadly. You are losing so much customers by waiting to add EU, just add a server in France or Germany.

+1 For Asia-Pacific, Singapore

+1 asia-pacific, singapore

+1 for eu/east (estonia, but closest is finland)

We need global regions!

• 1 eu servers would be a great option. planning to leave railway because of region based latency

Railway looks like a great hosting option, but without EU region I can't and won't use it (not only latency is an issue, but also statutory regulations).

Is there any ETA for an EU region, or is it "just a point on the roadmap that might be tackled in the future"?

I think region specific choice is important. For example there are many applications where the data needs to rest in a specific country. I'd certainly like UK location.

Commits are flying like fireworks. Happy New Year. More from us about this soon.

Angelo Saraceno: please consider Asia Pacific for eastern countries.

Commits are flying like fireworks. Happy New Year. More from us about this soon.

Angelo Saraceno: Great news, I'm really hoping it just exposes access to the underlying server locations which your cloud supplier offer so we can get very specific such as UK

We need EU indeed, even from a legal standpoint

How's it looking? We need EU location - it's currently stopping us Railway for all our infrastructure

+1 for EU, London ideally

Commits are flying like fireworks. Happy New Year. More from us about this soon.

Angelo Saraceno: Is there an ETA on launching to Europe? We can't use Railway until it exists here

Commits are flying like fireworks. Happy New Year. More from us about this soon.

Daniel Fascia: Unlikely that this will come in V1, but, we plan on exposing at least one country per region for launch. Ireland (EU), and Singapore (APAC) are our two most likely regions to launch with. Not finalized ofc.

Commits are flying like fireworks. Happy New Year. More from us about this soon.

Luke Brown: We are aiming for this quarter. Can't provide much of a date here.

The top post that is currently in progress is a general version of your request: https://railway.canny.io/feature-requests/p/configurable-deployment-region

For compliance reasons, EU locations are really necessary.

Absolutely voting for EU datacenters (GDPR…)

Angelo Saraceno: Great news, can't wait to see EU launching. Product looks promising so far.

Commits are flying like fireworks. Happy New Year. More from us about this soon.

Angelo Saraceno: Will the arival in Europe come with other GDPR requirements? Specifically a DPA (preferable e-signing one)? Or is there no focus on the paperwork yet?

I'm guessing a lot of people here wanting EU servers need this for GDPR compliance.

I'm also interested in a EU location for GDPR compliance. Any ETA?

IN!

Commits are flying like fireworks. Happy New Year. More from us about this soon.

Angelo Saraceno: This is fantastic news, can't wait! Will there be a "Transfer to region" process provided by Railway or will we have to manually set things up in a new region?

+1 Excited on this

Just updated this with an expected ETA. Timelines shouldn't be taken as gospel but guidance. Early tests and demos looking good.

Looking at Ireland for EU and Singapore for APAC. Nothing final yet.

Berk Sümbül: Idea here is that we can test and validate our EU-MEA regions and add additional locations when we can prove out demand.

After tabulating all the comments from here and in customer interviews, Ireland was picked because of its proximity to US-East as many of our customers have vendor relationships with services based there.

We'll get there! ;)

I now that ETA is just ETA buuuuuuut can you maybe give us a little little more info if it is more march or april? :) Thank you from advance!

Can we have Tokyo or Seoul region for Asia? Average latency from Korea and Japan to Singapore is usually over ~150ms, which is considerably high.

Any update on this? I know you guys said Q1 was the goal but I feel we're getting very close to the end of Q1 - does April look more realistic or maybe May perhaps? Thanks in advance - so excited for this feature!

I'm excited for the Singapore region launch!

+1 for EU. That would be really great.

We are likely going to need an Australian location (for compliance reasons) otherwise will have to move to AWS which we really don't want to do :'(

Hey, highly requested feature from our part. When this will be available?

I know y'all are tired of updates without features (just asked the team if we can share some internal demos haha) but from the last update to today, we just shipped the edge network that will enable us to proxy requests to different regions. (Wildcards!)

Going to push back the ETA to June (end of Q2 but rather underpromise and overdeliver on date….)

Going to push back the ETA to June (end of Q2 but rather underpromise and overdeliver on date….)

Angelo Saraceno: What do you mean by "Proxy requests to different regions.", if I may ask? The primarily reason for me to have an EU location as well is to better justify using the service according to the GDPR, here in the EU.

Alexander Matzen: note that the hosting region doesn't affect GDPR compliance. If you're relying on an US-based company the location of the servers doesn't matter as far as GDPR goes.

Matteo: It's not so simplified, hence why the Schrems II issue has not yet been resolved.

The physical location of data storage and data processing can have an effect on the compliance level with the GDPR. Not said that changing to EU servers automatically ensures GDPR compliance nor said that US servers can't be complaint to GDPR.

It's all about risk assessment and management, and what you can do to implement adequate data protection when transferring personal data to third countries.

+1 for EU. Looking forward to it!

+1 EU!

+1 EU (at least Frankfurt, and Paris also if possible)

Can we have Tokyo or Seoul region for Asia? Average latency from Korea and Japan to Singapore is usually over ~150ms, which is considerably high.

finn: That is a very good idea. Since 60% of the earth's population lives in Asia, one of the Japan, Korea, or Singapore servers is essential for fast service deployment!

durdenx:

ETA?

Iskander Iskakov: New ETA might be August (from blog post here: https://blog.railway.app/p/introducing-trial-hobby-pro-plans). I might be confusing multiple region-related features though. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ETA?

Lukas Gjetting: Why does this keep getting pushed back so many times? Is it because it's very complex or because more important tasks are being worked on?

It makes it very hard to plan when the most requested feature on Railway keeps getting pushed back each month for over a year.

I think multiple region is very important. Can’t wait to move my resour To railway. Hope it will be done soon

This is a MUST. We'd love to deploy our CMS on Railway. Latency on content uploads going all the way to the US is just not feasable.

South americaaa

It would be epic if we can deploy to a multple regions and horizontal scale different regions i.e. more traffic in west-us vs eu so scale west us to 3.
