Hi @topaz prawn. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
#Will it be possible to migrate a US Convex instance to European hosting once it launches?
analog doveBOT
The knowledge sources don’t contain any explicit statement from the Convex team about migrating an existing US-hosted Convex deployment to a future EU (or other) region.
What is documented:
- Today, all Convex cloud data is stored in
us-east. [Data sovereignty] - Region selection is not yet available; EU and other regions are planned but without a public, detailed migration procedure. [DB region option; Data sovereignty]
- Convex supports exporting/importing data (e.g. for self‑hosting or moving between Convex Cloud and self‑hosted) via
npx convex export/npx convex import. [Self-hosted develop; Data lock-in]
So:
- It is technically plausible that you could move data between regions using export/import once multiple regions exist, but the docs and Discord threads do not confirm an official, supported “move my deployment from US to EU” flow, nor any guarantees about downtime, IDs, or URLs.
- For contractual / roadmap clarity (e.g. GDPR, data residency, or a guaranteed migration path), the current guidance is to contact Convex directly (support or sales). [Status and guarantees; HA / SLA thread]
