Region request: Tokyo (ap-northeast-1)
We've been hosting PostgreSQL ourselves, however, Neon looks nice and I would love to use it, but it's known that Japan to Singapore is further away than many non-Asian people think and there is no reliable network path...

Do you have a plan for this? We think we can make some non-small volume subscriptions 🤷♂️

Hey - could the PolyScale integration help with this? https://neon.tech/docs/guides/polyscale-integration

@Mike J It often doesn't work very well. All it does is more or less reduce the extra hops and caching, which often doesn't do much good in large, real-time applications. The speed of light is too slow!
@Mike J PlanetScale has more regions, including Tokyo. But... You know what I mean. I just want to use PostgreSQL...
To be honest, I feel quite a lot of people are interested in Neon in Japan, but most of them have decided against it due to the lack of region(s). I would like to see the Tokyo region and hold workshops using Neon in Japan and/or use Neon in our AI startup!
Then, you might have a question as to why you haven't received requests from them, but many Japanese have a strong sense that they are not good at English, and they are not good at making requests 🤷♂️
@Mike J Hi!
For now, we moved to Neon Singapore with 10 projects.
Of course, we use Neon with PolyScale, but it's not bad but it's not very good...

I too would like to use the Japan Region when it is released and am waiting for it to be released.

Even the closest Singapore region has non-negligible latency when accessed from Japan, so I too would like to use a Tokyo region.

Hey folks, I'm loving the request for a region in Japan. I have to ask, would these be for production workloads on our paid plans? If so, can you DM me your emails to associate with these requests? This gives them more weight.
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
@ShinyPokemon I will send you a DM!
For me at least, Neon and CockroachDB are the options right now, but Neon's price advantage is quite attractive btw

I hope there are more data center options in the Asia Pacific region!
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
We've been experimenting with PolyScale and have found that their caching strategy does not work very well for us. WE WANT THE TOKYO REGION ASAP!!
other-emerald•2y ago
I also sent a DM to Evan.
I hope they will add a Japanese region.

If Neon creates a region in Tokyo, I hope they create one in Osaka as well.
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
I think it's a good idea because the Osaka region actually has better latency from Korea and Hong Kong. (I would love to use Neon from Hong Kong as well...)
correct-apricot•2y ago
I am waiting for the addition of a Tokyo Region.
The product I am developing is currently using PostgreSQL from Fly.io, but I will migrate when Neon's Tokyo Region is added.
(Yes, of course, this is for production with a paid plan.)
The Singapore region is not practical due to latency issues.

flat-fuchsia•16mo ago
Hey all. Appreciate the reminders here. We are continuing to evaluate new regions and customer demand for them, so thank you. Right now, we're not actively working on any new region so I want to set expectations that it's unlikely we'll have a Tokyo region within the next quarter.
genetic-orangeOP•13mo ago
So we have to move to another platform…

Not yet, it is next on my list. We are rolling out London and Sao Paolo this quarter.

thanks for sharing update!
genetic-orangeOP•7mo ago
Great!

extended-salmon•7mo ago
First of all, congratulations on the roll-out of the new London and Sao Paolo regions!
Wondering if it is possible to get confirmation about the next regions, and of course if Tokyo is one of them.
We'd love to give our customers an even smoother experience by connecting to a region closer to them.
extended-salmon•7mo ago
With these new ones only rolling out now I haven't started planning out the next regions. Tokyo is on the list and likely next up but i'll need a bit a time to revise the list and define when.
extended-salmon•7mo ago
Alright that'd be great, thanks for getting back to me Bryan
genetic-orangeOP•6mo ago
I definitely need a scalable large pgvector infrastructure in Tokyo, so I'm keen for it 😉

Hey! No updates yet. Latest addition was
