Meilisearch Cloud is available in six regions. Choosing the right region is one of the most impactful decisions for search latency: network round-trip time between your users and the Meilisearch instance is typically the largest contributor to perceived search speed.

​
Choosing a region

Minimize latency for your users. A search that takes 5 ms to execute on the server can feel instant or sluggish depending on whether the user is 10 ms or 200 ms away. Choose the region closest to the majority of your users. Consider data residency requirements. If your application handles personal data subject to GDPR or other regional regulations, ensure your project is hosted in a compliant region. FRA and LON are located within the EU and UK. Plan for multiple regions if you have a global audience. You can create separate projects per region and route search traffic to the nearest instance from your application layer. Each project is billed independently.

​
Changing a region

Regions cannot be changed after a project is created. To move to a different region, create a new project in the target region and re-index your documents.

​
Requesting a new region

The list of available regions grows over time. If none of the current regions fit your requirements (latency, data residency, or compliance), contact sales@meilisearch.com to request a new one.

​
Multi-region replication

For Enterprise workloads that require data to be replicated across multiple regions (for disaster recovery, global low-latency search, or compliance), Meilisearch supports multi-region replication. This is an Enterprise feature that requires dedicated infrastructure setup. Contact sales@meilisearch.com to discuss your requirements.
