Are there any plans to expand the deployment regions to the rest of the world? This would help with apps that require data sovereignty and reduced latency for global users.
Where exactly are you having trouble?
I agree. Only US sites shows that Replit really are only at the start of understanding what being a cloud hosting provider means. Might be best they let their partnership deal with Microsoft take over this side of things.
using replits deployment its currently restricted to the US only. I am from Aus and for certain verticals like finance or healthcare it is not permitted to have data reside outside of Aus. This is a common restriction globally. There are plenty of other PaaS providers including GCP that can host elsewhere. It doesnt seem like a huge change to offer hosting in other locations.

A big issue for UK and EU too, regarding GDPR, etc.
Another reason why more regions needed: it took me a few days to realise that setting up my Supabase project in their Stockholm region was wrong. Storage of a file back from my Replit deployed app to my Supabase file storage was really slow. Then it dawned on me that I needed to put Supabase projects in a US-East region to be closer to the Replit app. And voila, the file saving lag reduced by over 1 second!

Replit has figured out GDPR with its current setup. Kody has touched on this in the past: Replit's GDPR Compliance and deploying to EU Servers? - #3 by kody-replit
We can do regionalized dev + deployment environments for Europe / Aus on single tenant Replit Enterprise deployments which is what we do for those healthcare/finance companies that require it. For the Core plans we only have the US hosted options rn because we try to colocate dev envs near AI and all that is US hosted.
