Redis labs doesn’t run on all regions / cloud providers sadly. I’ve asked (begged) them to support GCE in Europe for a while now... even not all AWS regions are supported as far as I’m aware.


Supporting multiple cloud providers is much less trivial than it looks like

Even multiple AWS regions is not that simple, as some other comment mentioned, not all services are in all regions (or are available but at a lower reliability level)


I think ElastiCache is available in pretty much all regions https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/red-ug/... and I would say this is the direct "competitor" to Redis Labs?

I'm not saying it's trivial, but if they managed to support it across several AWS (and GCP) regions, then I'm not sure what's stopping them for expanding to others. I would imagine it's more of an ROI issue rather than a technical limitation.

In any case, I don't mean to diss Redis Labs. Quite the contrary. I'm keen to see them expand to other regions so I can use their services.


Yes, and they're one of the better vendors, which shows how bad vendors are at managed services.


Well to be fair. All AWS services aren’t available in all regions....
