How difficult is it to enforce data residency using Supabase self-hosting?
I'm talking to a potential client about building a platform using low-code technologies. One of their technical requirements is that their data must be stored in a particular country in the MENA region. Since the country/region is not listed in Supabase's available regions, I presume that I must self-host the back-end on a server physically located in the country of choice (but please tell me otherwise).
Has anyone encountered the same issue, and, if so, how did you solve it?
P.S. - I haven't self-hosted Supabase before, so any tips/things to look out for for my specific use case would be very appreciated!

Yeah if you have to host in a specific country then there is no way around self hosting it in that country. I think checking out this guide https://supabase.com/docs/guides/self-hosting would be the best place to start to get familiar and then ask questions as needed. If you are still planning to use a cloud provider to host it then i would also check if they even have infrastructure otherwise it might be difficult unless the client is willing to provide the servers for hosting themselves
