Introducing New Cloud Regions and How We Choose Them

Timescale has launched four new cloud regions in London (eu-west-2), Tokyo (ap-northeast-1), São Paulo (sa-east-1), and Canada Central (ca-central-1). Users can now enjoy the full suite of Timescale Cloud features in these regions. The company carefully selects its cloud regions based on factors such as customer requests, sales discussions, and regional analysis of their customer base. They use a hub-and-spoke model for their multi-region cloud offering, with a central cluster managing control plane elements necessary for all other regional clusters. This approach provides benefits like speed, compliance, blast radius reduction, and operational flexibility while also requiring significant overhead in terms of compute resources and observability stack footprint per cluster.
