Project geography is the publishing geography for a Project. You select it when you publish, and it controls where the published Project’s compute and storage are hosted.
Project geography and Workspace geography can differ. Workspace geography controls where development resources for new Projects in a Workspace are hosted.

​
What Project geography controls

By default, Replit recommends the geography closest to you. This helps reduce latency for your app’s visitors and meet data residency requirements. When you select a geography, all published artifacts for your Project, such as compute, database, and Object Storage, are automatically colocated in the same region. A geography-specific proxy also helps reduce latency for your app’s visitors.

​
Select a Project geography

To choose a geography other than the recommended one:
1
Open the Publishing tool in your Replit Project.
2
Expand the Advanced settings.
3
Select your preferred geography from the Geography dropdown.
4
Select Publish to publish your Project to the selected geography.

​
Enforce a geography on published Projects

Enterprise admins can enforce a publishing geography for all Projects across their organization. When a policy is set, builders in the organization publish to the configured geography. This policy applies only to Projects that have not yet been published. Projects already published to a different geography are not affected.
Enforcing a publishing geography is an Enterprise feature. To learn more about Enterprise plans, see Pricing.
1
Navigate to your Account settings.
2
Select Advanced.
3
Choose the geography that all Projects published for the first time must use.

​
Availability and limits

Project geography selection is available to Core, Pro, and Enterprise customers. Free customers publish to North America by default.
Before selecting a Project geography, keep these limitations in mind:
  • Geography cannot be changed after publishing. Once you publish your Project to a geography, that selection is permanent. You cannot migrate a published Project to a different geography.
  • Development and published locations can differ. Resources such as Object Storage can be created before you publish and may not match your Project geography.
