Introduction
Find out how you can make sure that data lives in a single, consistent region as it is synced from your source database to your destination warehouse using Fivetran. This could be for a couple of primary reasons:
- Security & Compliance (e.g., GDPR)
- Minimize Latency
Recommendation
In order to make sure that your data remains in a consistent region for database connectors, you will need to configure all three respective servers for each stage of the data lifecycle:
- Source Database
- Fivetran
- Destination
For #2, Fivetran gives you the option to select the region of Fivetran servers used for processing your data when configuring your destination. We support servers in the following regions:
- US
- EU
- Asia-Pacific (APAC)
- UK
- Canada
Please follow these instructions for choosing your data processing location.
Considerations
Note: Regions can contain multiple zones within them (e.g., us-east-1). Fivetran supports choosing a processing location at the regional level.
