Region mismatch between GUI and Docs — which ones are real?

Body:

Noticed a mismatch between the deployment regions listed in the Railway docs and what’s shown in the UI when selecting a region.

Docs list:

  • US West Metal — California, USA — us-west2

  • US East Metal — North Carolina, USA — us-east4-eqdc4a

  • EU West Metal — Amsterdam, Netherlands — europe-west4-drams3a

  • Southeast Asia Metal — Singapore — asia-southeast1-eqsg3a

But the GUI shows:

  • US East (Virginia, USA) ← exclamation emojinot the same as North Carolina

  • US West (California, USA)

  • EU West (Amsterdam, Netherlands)

  • Southeast Asia (Singapore)

So… is US East in Virginia now, or still North Carolina as the docs say?

Look at the docs here...

https://docs.railway.com/reference/regions

In the UI I see this...

One says Virginia one says Carolina... Which is it?

What data centers do you run Railway in AWS, GCP, Azure? We want to run Neon.tech with Railway and ideally would keep it in the same data center or as close as possible. Neon supports Azure East US 2 (Virginia).

We run our own datacenters!

US East is likely your best bet - we have good interconnect with regional ISPs, so the latency to neon should be best there (considering it's the same state).

(if you're curious, here's a blog post on how we rolled out our own DCs: https://blog.railway.com/p/data-center-build-part-two)

Best,

Nico
