Netlify Introduces Region Selection For Functions

Netlify updates their Functions feature, allowing developers to select the deployment region to optimize application performance.

The Region Selection feature aims to reduce latency by running functions closer to associated databases and backend services, and comply with data residency requirements.

By co-locating serverless functions and data, the new feature ensures faster response times and adherence to regional data processing regulations.

Default deployment region is 'US East', with more options available to better serve user needs and improve application reliability.

Netlify encourages users to try the new feature, offers documentation for further details, and invites feedback through their support channels.
