Deploy G8KEPR across multiple cloud regions (AWS, GCP, Azure) in an active-active configuration for 99.99% uptime, sub-50ms global latency, and zero downtime during region failures. Perfect for enterprise customers with global user bases.

🌍 Global Deployment

8 Regions

US-East, US-West, EU, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East, Africa, Australia

Sub-50ms Latency

99.9% of requests under 50ms from any location

99.99% Uptime

4.38 minutes downtime per month

Auto-Failover

<3 second detection and rerouting

Failover Flow (Region US-East goes down):
  1. Health check fails (30s interval)
  2. GeoDNS removes US-East from rotation
  3. Traffic rerouted to US-West (< 3 seconds)
  4. User session preserved via global state sync
  5. Zero data loss (write-ahead log replicated)
