Region Request: Canada (AWS Montreal?)
I know you guys probably have other important roadmap stuff to work on but I saw on your website you welcome feedback so just thought I'd put my request in for a Canadian region! I have a customer who requires their data reside within Canadian borders and cannot use Neon 😦 Was so excited to use it but I'll have to find another solution for now.
I will continue to use it for other smaller projects however. Cheers for a great service!

Hey there. I am posting this as a thought exercise—not a definitive answer!—but wondered if you could use a Canadian S3 bucket for data residency (data would still be processed outside of Canada). https://neon.tech/blog/bring-your-own-s3-to-neon
Neon
Bring your own S3 to Neon - Neon
Neon is Postgres in its most advanced form: cloud-native, serverless, with separation of storage and compute. Neon is the only transactional database to cleanly separate compute and storage, making it possible for enterprise customers to bring their own S3 to use as the storage layer. If this is of interest, get in touch, or read […]

Oh interesting and this was literally posted two days ago so I assume fairly new offering?
This might work but I'll need to confirm. Is this a generally available setting or is this "custom" in that I need to work with someone at Neon to set this up first?
EDIT: Looks like I need to be on an enterprise plan perhaps and talk with Sales? I'm definitely not in need of enterprise functionality as we are still small doing agency style work but our customer is enterprise with the data residency requirement

Hi folks. Just reiterating this request. We provide software for Canadian universities and we have strict compliance rules that data needs to reside in Canada. I'd love to give neon a shot, but not having a Canadian region is a non-started. @Mike J the link you provided is not available anymore, but if it involved getting access to the Enterprise plan, that'd be a non-starter as well.

Sorry. No Canada region yet. It almost made the cut for our early 2025 region. Later next year if we do another region rollout we'll reconsider adding Montreal. As a Canadian I'm sad about this but it's still high on the list for next time.
I'm assuming all interest is in central and not west. Correct?

Central would be better because the app is deployed in AWS's ca-central-1, but honestly any Canada region would be ok since we need it for compliance reasons

Any updates on Canadian servers? I have prospects that have to keep data in Canada!

We just opened London. Brazil is up next, and Canada is on the shortlist. We'll let you know as soon as something is committed to plan.

As Canadians Daniel and I are both pushing for this! 🍁

Up vote for me too, need anywhere in Canada ideally for compliance.
Any ETA on this? Becoming more urgent.

I don’t have an ETA, sorry. It’ll likely be toward the end of the year.

UPVOTING THIS! I have a whale for a customer - data must reside in Canada.
