Show HN: Managed ElasticSearch Now in EU Datacenters
- vertex-four 13y agoAssuming that the "in EU datacenters" is mentioned in regards to privacy more than latency (which is likely, following the recent news), the issue is that both the company behind QBox, and the company QBox seem to be using for their servers, are American companies. This means they're subject to the same laws that Google et al are subject to, never mind where the data is physically stored.
- qboxio 13y agoI think you might be attributing motives where none exist, vertex. We are a US-based company, of course subject to all the same laws. The EU datacenter was in development prior to this news breaking. The effort was solely in response to customers in the EU experiencing latency due to a transoceanic hop. The hop negates much of the benefit of using a full-text search server. Of course, privacy expectations are set by the customer, who controls access policies.
