Overview
The Data Hosting feature of Felt allows you to control where in the world your data is hosted.
For businesses and organizations dealing with sensitive or regulated data, regional data hosting provides several key benefits:
- Regulatory Compliance: Many regions have data sovereignty laws requiring certain types of data to be stored within specific geographic boundaries. Regional Data Hosting allows users to comply with these regulations by keeping data within required areas.
- Reduced Latency: Storing data closer to where it's being accessed can significantly reduce latency. Users in a specific region can experience faster data access and improved application performance when their data is hosted nearby.
The available regions are:
Region | AWS Region |
United States | US-West-2 (Oregon) |
European Union | EU-Central-1 (Frankfurt) |
Australia | AP-Southeast-2 (Sydney) |
United Kingdom | EU-West-2 (London) |
Canada | CA-Central-1 (MontrĂŠal) |
How to Enable Regional Hosting
