Is Stockholm right for you?

Two things to think through.

Compare with other northern European cities

If your users are spread across Europe, compare Stockholm with Amsterdam and Frankfurt using real measurements. Nordic users usually benefit from a nearby location.

Look at the whole request path

List every service your application calls and where it lives. A nearby server can still wait on a distant dependency.

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, Dubai is about 4,760 km from Stockholm.
