I have right now a Cloud APP (Front End NuxtJS) and Droplet (backend&DB), both in Frankfurt FRA location (and spaces in AWS S3 separately).
In case I would like to decrease ping for users from USA what should I do? How can I do that?
Should I:
- Create another droplet in another location? (how do I connect it with the same domain?)
- Create another app in other location? (ping for calls to backend would not be changed in this case which is just half of the solution, again - domain?)

To decrease latency for users in the USA, you can take the following steps:
- Create another droplet and app in a US-based datacenter. This will help to serve content closer to your target audience and decrease latency for API calls.
- Set up geolocation-based load balancing using DigitalOcean Load Balancers, or configure a custom solution with DNS providers like Cloudflare.
- Employ a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to create a distributed network of servers that serve your static assets to users from the closest geographic location.
For more information on how to set up geolocation-based load balancing with DigitalOcean Load Balancers, check out the Load Balancers documentation.
For more details on setting up CDN, you can refer to the How to Use DigitalOcean Spaces and API for Object Storage Delivery tutorial.
Hope that this helps!
