is it possible to force fly.io to use a particular region ? India has these strict data residency laws for financial/healthcare companies (and I know that singapore has them too).

So we need assured guarantees that data is not traversing outside of the region. most cloud vendors have specific data residency compliance for India - https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/india-data-protection/

You control which region your app and it’s volumes are in. Metrics, logs, and volume snapshots end up on servers in the USA. We haven’t addressed data residency for those platform services yet, but we might someday if there’s enough interest.

I really recommend tackling this.

Many EU companies are increasingly concerned about data location, with some going into full panic mode.

This will unfortunately prevent me from using/recommending Fly for EU customers at the moment. It should also be pretty prominently stated in the docs.
