Hi @tough jackal. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Convex currently runs all hosted projects in a single AWS region: us‑east‑1 (US East).[data center; [us-east-1](https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1380203206361088072)]
Key points from the sources:
- There is no region selector today; you cannot choose where your Convex deployment runs.[DB region option]
- Multiple messages confirm that customer backends currently all run in us-east.[server region; [data centers](https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1326117829744787558)]
- The team has expressed long‑term plans for:
- Additional regions (especially EU / Frankfurt first) and later other regions like Australia/Asia/Canada.[data sovereignty; [DB region option](https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1209431097432342558)]
- Global edge caching to reduce latency from outside the US.[server region]
However, the knowledge sources do not contain a confirmed release date or documentation that any non‑US region is live yet; all concrete statements still say US‑East only.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
@tough jackal Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
Europe (including an EU region like Frankfurt) is not available yet in the information we have. All concrete statements still say Convex runs customer backends in us‑east (US) only.["server region" thread; ["Data Sovereignty" thread](https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1300411253495300156)]
From the sources:
- Team members repeatedly confirm: “right now, data is stored in us‑east” and “customer backends currently all run in us‑east.”["Data Sovereignty" thread; ["server region" thread](https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1200217569563512853)]
- They have said Frankfurt is planned to be the first non‑US zone, but with sliding estimates and no confirmed live date in the docs we have.["GDPR compliance?" thread; ["server region" thread](https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1200217569563512853)]
- Migration to an EU region, once available, would likely be via export/import, not automatic online migration at first.["GDPR compliance?" thread]
