Hello everyone !
I have a node app and a PostgreSQL DB in VPS using Docker, with Coolify as a CI/CD, nothing too fancy, you might say.

My question is the following.
I have a lot of read/write on my DB and even the lowest increase in DB latency can have an impact on my users’ experience. As my VPS is in France, what could be the best/easiest (selfhosted?) option to solve this problem in other regions (North America, Asia…) ?

Thks in advance 🎄🎁

    Nothing here is self hosted. You are running VPS (!!) and want to expand to other continents where presumably you don’t live.

    Go bother someone in a random web hosting forum.

      While I agree with @[email protected], this isn’t strictly speaking on-topic for this community, that kind of knee-jerk response is very much out of the topic as well. The first community rule is to be civil and in general I, perhaps optimistically, would like that conversation over fediverse in global would be civil, or at least well argumented, a bit like it used to be (more or less, YMMV) back in the usenet days.

      And on the topic of self-hosting, that’s a line drawn in the water. I run various of things by myself (postfix+dovecot, LAMP, bitwarden, seafile, nextcloud…) on a rented servers running linux+kvm. And I get money by doing that, it’s a very much a business case, so I’m a bit reluctant to ask questions about the setup I have in here as I think it wouldn’t be fair to ask for advice from hobbyists in a project where money is directly involved. But for me personally that setup checks both sides of things. I get money by doing it, but at the same time I personally can get out of the walled gardens like M365 or Gsuite.

      TL;DR: There’s no need to be rude, you can choose to politely point people in the right direction.

        I wasn’t quick enough to answer @vsq, but I’d really like to know, as a false beginner, isn’t renting a VPS server considered as selfhosting? Even if I have all my services on it (Jellyfin, n8n, Immich, TeamCity etc).
