- jumploops 2y agoIdea: select a data center by default (i.e. us-east-1) to make it more clear. Bonus: select the nearest data center based on the user’s IP :)
- mvanbaak 2y agoNitpick detail: us-east-1 (and all other availability zones) are also not a single datacenter by definition. The can also spend several
- hyperpape 2y agoI appreciate the effort to collect the data, but I think the rotating globe is an idea that looks cool, but makes the visualization harder to use. If I click on us-east-1, there's a 229ms line to...somewhere that I can't see. Meanwhile, I can't see the latency between us-east-1 and us-east-2. Perhaps if you selected a datacenter, and it switched to a 2-d projection with that datacenter at the center of the map, it would be better? Or perhaps augment the visualization with a table?
- dredmorbius 2y agoWinkel Tripel projection would mitigate this nicely. (One of several options, though the best IMO.) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winkel_tripel_projection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winkel_tripel_projection>
