Hopefully they can add high availability clusters in regions other than US East (which is the only region which has high availability clusters right now).

Hi,

Found-founder here. You can pick HA in eu-west-1 as well, and we've been battle testing a solution for other regions for some time now, and it'll soon be generally available.

The issue is that a lot of regions only have two availability zones, and having a third is important to prevent split brain scenarios. (Our solution to that involves using ZooKeeper.)

Thanks for the reply! I'll look out for it. Need it for the southeast datacenter (Singapore)

If you reach out to support, we can get you settled right away. :)
