Is Mumbai right for you?

Two things to think through.

Think about where your Indian users are

India is large, and networks differ between regions and providers. Test from the cities where your users actually are.

Check local requirements

India has its own data and contractual requirements. A location alone does not make a project compliant, so confirm what applies to yours.

Nearby locations.

Distances from Mumbai to the closest GLWS locations.

Dubai

United Arab Emirates

About 1,940 km away. Physical minimum round trip about 19 ms.

Hong Kong

Distances are straight-line between city centres. The minimum round trip assumes light in fibre at about 200,000 km a second and a straight cable. Real routes are longer, so always test from your own audience. For a second site that survives a regional outage, Stockholm is about 6,230 km from Mumbai.

Look at the whole request path.

A nearby server is only one part of your application.

Mumbai and your audience

Compare the route from the audience networks you expect to serve. Test real requests, not only a location label.

Dependencies and data

Count remote APIs, databases, sign-in providers and backup destinations when you plan.

Recovery across locations

Write down how data is restored and who can do it. A copy in another location only helps if you can recover from it.
