Question
Server in multiple locations
I’m looking for a new solution for speeding up my website response time.
I currently have a VPS hosted by a VPS company in the UK. But I have clients which use my software all the way in Hong Kong.
My UK response times are under a second - which is good. While the response times my Hong Kong clients are getting are about 6s, which really adds up and makes things slow.
I saw on digital ocean somewhere you can deploy to multiple locations.
Now what i’m thinking (not sure if possible), but I want to have a solution where I have one server I have to manage, but it actually responds from different locations.
so I manage one server, one database, one set of files etc. But when a user from Hong Kong requests data from my app, it is being requested from a server in/close to Hong Kong. My app has potential to have clients globally, so moving forward I would like to be able to deploy this system globally no matter where you are.
Is this possible with Digital Ocean, and can anyone provide any references I need to take a look at please?
