The only killer feature missing from Render is a distributing the same app across regions for minimal latency. Heroku only pitifully support 2 regions.

I want the choice for my app to be global on day one with no devops required. Just two clicks and it's available on multiple regions.

We'll get there! We have 4 regions now, with a fifth one coming soon.

Where’s the new one? Loving render.com so far but latency in Spain is not great.

US Virginia, because Heroku users migrating to Render want to test their Render apps against a Heroku us-east1 DB before moving data over.

Which AWS/GCP regions do you typically use for Spain?

This is the first time I'm targeting the Spanish market so I don't have experience with AWS from there. Paris is geographically close so I imagine that would have the best latency (sorry I can't give you anything concrete).

Check out fly.io as that is their raison d’être.
