Introducing our Germany region 🇩🇪

Today we're excited to announce the availability of our new Frankfurt region, bringing Ploi Cloud to Germany for the first time. 🎉

Keeping data on German soil

German data protection rules are strict, and for good reason. We've heard the same thing from a lot of you: you're happy deploying on European infrastructure, but your clients want to know where the servers physically sit, and "somewhere in the EU" isn't the answer they're looking for.

With our Frankfurt region, your applications, databases, and storage all live in Germany. No compromises, no workarounds.

Why Frankfurt?

Frankfurt is the internet hub of continental Europe, and that makes it a great home for your applications:

• Low latency across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Serve your visitors from inside the region instead of routing their traffic across a border first.

• DE-CIX lives here. Frankfurt hosts one of the busiest internet exchanges on the planet, so traffic gets where it needs to go, fast.

• A natural fit for German businesses. Whether it's your customers or your contracts that put you in Germany, this is where your application belongs.

Getting started

Deploying to Frankfurt works exactly like every other region. Create a new application, pick Germany (Frankfurt) from the region dropdown, and you're done. Your application builds and deploys there automatically, with the same experience you're used to.

Existing applications keep running in their current region. Just create a new application in Frankfurt if you want to make the move.

What's next

Frankfurt joins Amsterdam, Chicago and London as our fourth region, and we're not stopping here. We're always evaluating where to expand next, so if there's a region you'd love to see, let us know!
