Are the response times faster because the company and its servers are both based in the EU? So, really the response time charts are showing the benefit of simply eliminating a cross Atlantic network hop? So, is this a solution for companies targeting EU customers?
- joshguthrie 14y agoHeroku Europe[1] is a better solution in that case. [1] https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2013/4/24/europe-region https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2013/4/24/europe-region
- grk 14y agoThe tests were ran from a Hetzner server against Shelly Cloud and Heroku EU, so that shouldn't affect the results. We are however targeting EU customers, we have servers in EU datacenters. We have plans to expand to the US later.
- josho 14y agoThank you for the response! I'll keep an eye out for your US launch! Competition is a good thing.
