I willing to bet that a significant number of these are Indian customers. Singapore AWS, Softlayer, Azure were the closest datacenters to India for a long time. Now Azure and AWS have india datacenter ... and google has been promising one for a long time.
Indian startups (like mine) which have a buy-in to the Google ecosystem have to operate from the closest point - Singapore. I wish you guys launch the Mumbai datacenter soon enough.
- whyagaindavid 9y agoAny specialized reason for Mumbai data center? Latency?
- sandGorgon 9y agofor an Indian startup ? yes - latency is one. regulatory is another. If you are touching PII or financial data (like us), having the DB in India is critical.
