I have a VPS Hosted Appwrite in Australia(Sydney & Melbourne) and Both are Slow. So If I click on a Menu Button in Appwrite Console, it takes 2-3 sec to load the page and I'm in Singapore.

But I just Used Appwrite Cloud and Its Fast. I think Appwrite team said it is Hosted somewhere in Europe. I'm just Curious to know How is it fast. Thanks

TL;DR
The user is curious about why Appwrite Cloud is fast compared to hosting their own VPS in Australia. The support team explains that Appwrite Cloud is currently hosted in Europe, which may contribute to its faster speeds. They suggest hosting the VPS in Europe as well to see if it improves performance. The team also mentions that most cloud providers have multiple servers in different locations, similar to a CDN, to ensure good latency for end users. So, the fast speed of Appwrite Cloud may be attributed to its infrastructure setup. Solution: Host the VPS in Europe to potentially improve speeds.

Not a 100% sure if they do this, but i'll try to explain in layman's terms.

Most cloud providers have multiple servers. Meaning that there isn't just one server with their product. There's multiple locations around the world that host the product, which makes it easier for end users to get good latency. Kind of like how a CDN works.

The core team can clarify if this is in fact what they do, or i'm just saying random things lol

Hey there 👋 We only support 1 region for now, which is in Europe (frankfurt, I believe).

We will be adding more regions support and edge CDN in the future.

You can try to host your VPS in Europe as well to see if that makes difference to your speeds. While Appwrite Cloud is scaled really well, there is no reason for self-hosted instances with 1 project to be slow.
