At least a hundred milliseconds of additional latency is unavoidable across any ocean crossing. It’s just physics.
All US-hosted web services feel slow here. It’s a baseline sluggishness that permeates everything we use that is cloud hosted.
The only exception is services that have local instances or replicas of some sort.
- pranay01 4y agoI see, very interesting. Is this latency deterring enough that you prefer running things in your region and not prefer SaaS product which are generally hosted in US/EU? Or is this just a discomfort which you deal with?
- jiggawatts 4y agoPersonally speaking, yes. I tend to gravitate to locally hosted services. In some cases it can be a night & day difference.
