As a developer in Australia, we are painfully aware of this haha. Plenty of web services that aren’t deployed here feel painfully slow due to the latency costs — regardless of having decent bandwidth today.

Because our product is global, our backends are replicated worldwide too. Otherwise we’d be forcing the pain we go through daily on our users too
