Hello!

I was reading through https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/reference/data-location/#provide-a-location-hint and I noticed that Durable Objects dont actually run in any of the africa data centers - which feels like its maybe not great for latency.

For example, according this awesome tool, the closest regions that they spawn in are Europe.

Was wondering what the performance implications of this are and if there are plans to bring Durable Object support to some of the africa regions?

Data location

Jurisdictions are used to create Durable Objects that only run and store data within a region to comply with local regulations such as the GDPR or FedRAMP.
