For application with primarily Indian users, it makes much more sense to allow hosting apps in a Indian region.

It would be great to have a way to host apps that are deployed in multiple regions, so the app is fast anywhere in the world. I guess this is quite a challenge, because you might also need a multi-region distributed database. But it would be great to have an easy way of building such an app without the dev-ops overhead.

It would be awesome to have Swiss region for services. Especially DBs. Switzerland has an similar to GDPR - Datenschutzgesetz (DGS), and it is a frequent requirement to "store data in Switzerland". There are no current PAAS options for this region even tho cloud is available: Azure, GCP and AWS since recently. It would be great if render.com will expand to this region. Sincerely, Bogdan.

For financial services products (UK is a FinTech hub) many agreements require that data be located within the UK.

Need to support clients who require Canada-domiciled data storage/processing

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.
