How it works

Where it runs

Your service runs in the region you choose, on machines from more than one provider. You don't depend on a single one doing well.

regions

Choose close to your database

There are two: the United States (us) and Europe (eu). Your service stays in its region, also when it moves. Only if there were no room there would it run in another for a while, and it comes back as soon as there is room. Put it where your database is: every query travels less. spredr suggests the region by reading your database’s address in your variables.

$spredr settings mi-api --region eu
providers

More than one provider behind it

Your service lives on machines paid by the month, and if one falls another from a different provider takes over. Today the base is Contabo and the backup is Google Cloud; OVH, AWS and Azure are on the way.

What matters for you: if a provider has a bad day, your service keeps going on another.
