Comment Comment by bcaxis > 2. Unidirectional end-to-end latency only applies to streaming data.Agreed that his "across the world" example is a bit silly. Because he doesn't take into account the connection construction.His primary point is still reasonable. How many services need world wide reach? Did you build it for multiple languages also?If you're in the US. Or you're in the EU. A nice centralized server will have <=30 ms of latency to the entire region you are serving.Edge is over valued unless you do have true global needs and then you have to also manage global database (s). parent bcaxis 2 years ago
