This is a great article about building global apps that require multi-region deployments. Thanks for sharing. Curious about the transaction retry errors for UPDATE that required 2 days to resolve. Probably could of been avoided using a distributed SQL database that supports a read committed isolation level ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For those going down this path, maybe check out open source YugabyteDB. There is a great doc about how to build Global Apps using various application design patterns: https://docs.yugabyte.com/preview/develop/build-global-apps/
