Singapore vs. SF latency from S.Korea

Posted on July 18, 2014

I’m planning to deploy a service where most of the users will be accessing the site from South Korea.

I was about to select the Singapore region, but then I’ve heard rumors that selecting the SF region is the optimal choice regarding latency issues. (I could not find any test results or evidence to back up this claim)

I would like to get your best informed opinion on the subject.

The service will use the LEMP(Ubuntu, MariaDB) stack with Varnish and Memcached. NoSQL will be added to the stack later on.
