Data residency

Increasingly international regulations and/or customers require that data generated by citizens of a country or region are stored only in that country or region. With pgEdge you can control which tables are globally replicated, and which stay local. In addition you can implement geographic sharding, or “geo-sharding”, where tables are broken out based on a location field (like “country”). This shares global data globally, while keeping local data local where necessary.

For example, an e-commerce company might globally replicate product catalog data, while keeping customer information and the order data they generate within a geographic region like Europe or the United States.
