They let you choose a region. Here is Xata’s region list:

But also, they’ve done some work to reduce the number of network round trips that Postgres needs to respond to a query. For many situations, SQL over HTTPS is used. In JavaScript, the database driver is a wrapper around a fetch request.

Xata seems to have its own SDK with higher-level API’s to reduce round trips.
