That said, I’ve used AWS DBs with Cloudflare pages and the latency isn’t a major issue. If you are running non geo-distributed DB, the DB is a lot further than 10ms away from your average user.
- danpalmer 2y agoIn my experience, applications tend to do far more DB queries than users do backend requests, and as such, 50ms to the user matters much less than the difference between 1 and 10ms on DB queries. That said, thanks for the experience. Do they also tend to launch in other cloud providers? It seems like it would be a tricky business to navigate, restricting your customer base to specific providers.
