Hey @ceigey! For the new frameworks, we’re using a new cloud partner. This gives us more flexibility and better control over regions, performance and cost, as we’re no longer tied to a single provider.
In the beginning of next year, we will also migrate Meteor apps to the new infrastructure. Customers who prefer to stay on AWS will have the option to do so.
To answer your questions directly:
- Sydney: It’s on our roadmap. Our priority is to match all current AWS regions on the new infrastructure. So, Sydney is definitely coming.
- New Regions: After we match our existing regions, we will expand further based on customer demand. Each new region is a significant investment, it involves money, engineering effort, and ongoing monitoring. We need to see enough demand or potential to justify that commitment.
Thanks for the feedback!
And maybe to the rest of the community, how much do national boundaries matter for most people, when latency isn’t an issue?
I’m also curious to know what the community thinks.
