I’m somewhat confused by the distributed story for tiger beetle. In the docs here: https://docs.tigerbeetle.com/concepts/performance/#single-th...

It says: “TigerBeetle uses a single core by design and uses a single leader node to process events. Adding more nodes can therefore increase reliability, but not throughput.”

How does this work with multi-region? Does this mean that regardless of where in the world your users might live, they need to make a request to the leader node for a write to occur?

Is distribution purely for redundancy?
