Ikai, It sure would be great if Google would consider adding regional data centers on the roadmap. I live in Boston, but travel to Japan a few times a year. Most recently, I stayed in Yokohama for the month of June, actively developing and testing my app the entire month. There was a noticeable degradation in performance compared to what I experience in Boston. Not just after calling my app the first time after a period of non-activity, but even after on-going active use.
The latency didn't make my app unusable but it was noticeable enough to cause me concern as to how potential customers in Japan might perceive the speed of my app. Cheers, Patrick On Aug 2, 2:54 pm, "Ikai Lan (Google)" <[email protected]> wrote: > The primary data centers serving App Engine are in North America, however, > assets and items that are edge cached are served from Google edge caches > which are located wherever there are Google data centers. > > When evaluating page speed, it's typically assets that cause page speeds to > appear slow: > > http://stevesouders.com/hpws/rules.php > > Only dynamic calls to your application logic would be routed to North > America.
