Are we completely ignoring the technical impact of using a SaaS that is likely in a whole other data centre to everything else? It is very easy to destroy response latency by pinging loads of messages around when they should be colocated in one place. This is one of the reasons AWS services are so sticky compared to everyone else.

It's not in a different data center; it's in us-east-1.

  Do you mean that us-east-1 is a single data center? OTOH any DCs that comprise that region should be close enough together, and on ridiculously fast links.

    No, I mean if every lazy SaaS provider and every lazy customer is in us-east-1 then there won't be any latency problems.
