Lagos Region

Nigeria has over 200 million people and AWS now offers a Local Zone in Lagos, so it would be awesome for reducing latency if a local application serving people all over Nigeria did not have to come all the way from Europe or South Africa. EC2 is available in the Local Zone in Lagos, so perhaps that is enough to offer both Render app servers and a Render Postgres database. The closest that Render.com currently offers is Frankfurt, Germany. Even though AWS has a region in South Africa, it seems that Frankfurt has just as fast of a ping time, so I think the only material difference would be to have the servers running right there in West Africa. Also, the rest of West Africa could benefit - half a billion people. Render would be a pioneer in the region since I think they would have no other competition from a managed app/database cloud platform.

I came here for this, We currently have a fintech solution deployed on render, it would be great to cut down on the server hops.

This is awesome!! Would add so much business and economic value to have a cloud solution available to the Nigeria infrastructure! Opens up many doors!
