Agree, data location is indeed a central challenge when building globally distributed apps.

We picked the largest peering points in Europe and the US for the two first locations aka Washington / US-East and Frankfurt in Europe. For the following 4 locations which we announced last week in early access [1], we tried to pick the next best-interconnected locations on the world map: SFO / the valley, Singapore, Paris, and Tokyo.

We definitely need to do a better job in the doc [2], we can definitely provide some mapping matrix and will be working on some latency measurements/speedtest/iperf servers.

In this direction, did you look at PolyScale [3]? They do the job of database caching at Edge.

What do you have in mind regarding lower-level access to compute? We're looking at providing block storage and direct TCP/IP support if that's what you have in mind.
