editElasticsearch Add-On for Heroku regions
editA region is the geographic area where the data center of the cloud provider that hosts your deployment is located. Use the information listed here to decide which Elasticsearch Add-On for Heroku region to use. Your choice should be based on:
- Your geographic proximity to the region. Picking a region that is closer to you typically reduces latency for indexing and search requests.
- The features that we support for the region. Not all regions support the same set of features.
