Both on same network (Internet), same computer.
1st one (This article) is served by Netlify and AWS (Static hosting).
2nd is an ecommerce store on Dukaan (ecommerce platform for India), I am affiliated with.
The end users of these domains are globally distributed and served from 14 different data centre locations across the world.
To do the geo IP matching we tried a lot of things, third party services etc but couldn't find one that works well and are priced well.
For example, the hosted DNS service we use also have a IP based filter chain feature but are priced around $22 per domain per month as add-on.
At the end, we built a anycast based solution that was very painful to setup but works fine now and can use a single A record that works across the world. We had a get a ASN, a /24 block and hell lot of back n forth with a government run org to set it up.
A "hosted" scriptable DNS server which takes the location as input and output IP of nearest edge server as output is the exact thing I needed. So yes there is definitely a niche market for it.
I still have to explore and see how closely bunnydns is able to get the source IP/location (tricky) and how does health check etc could work but definitely something I would explore and consider.

You either have to custom code everything or use woocommerce or Magento APIs.
Getting woocommerce or wordpress system to work as API is very difficult and poorly implemented with multiple plugins to manage register, cart, orders, payments etc.
Implementing a full blown Magento install for this is just overkill.
I looked into couple of hosted SaaS in this space and they were too new with limited functionality.
Glad this space is picking up. All the best.
