Introducing the Europe Region, Now Available in Public Beta(blog.heroku.com) |
Remarks: I am totally not a lawyer
Heroku is not yet a registered participant in the Safe
Harbor program. We’ve laid the groundwork for becoming
Safe Harbor certified and expect to have it soon. The
Europe region public beta is designed to let you build
high-performance apps for European users. It does not
currently address data residency or jurisdiction concerns.
You should assume that some portions of your app and its
data will be in, or pass through, datacenters located in
the US.Europe region beta is not yet Safe Harbor cert. Working on it. Sign up for updates to stay informed heroku.com/europe
I'm not sure what they keep meaning by "not safe harbour compliant", since the law applies all the time to all people in Ireland....
Shouldn't that be "superset"?

I didn't know Europe was out of alpha. They seem to be experiencing integration bugs.
I knew we should have unit-tested Greece.
And Safe Harbor is nice, but having a DC in EU would make the discussions around it even easier.
I work on Heroku, on the databases, which are rather thorny in that department...
...it's going to take some evolution in how applications are written to make that work not uglifically (and it'll probably be ugly at first and for a while), but it's the dream, and I think it'll come to pass over time and with work from many people.
Personally I'd just be happy with a master-master postgres db or sharding, for $money, where money is some amount enough to make that happen without me worrying about it.
