Compare workspace and publishing geography
Workspace and publishing geography do not need to match.
Workspace geography
A workspace contains projects, shared resources, and integrations. Within each project, you use the Project Editor and Agent chat. Development resources include the development version of your app and its development database. Only Pro customers can select a specific workspace region. Free and Core customers have workspace region set automatically. This usually selects the workspace region closest to you. New projects and resources in the workspace use that location. You cannot change the region after you create the workspace.Select a workspace region
If you are a Pro customer, you can select a region when you create a workspace:1
Open the Create a new workspace form.
2
Enter the workspace name and optional member email addresses.
3
Open Workspace region, then select North America, Europe (EU), or Asia.
4
Select Create workspace.
Publishing geography
Set the publishing geography when you publish a project. 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 publishing geography

Open the Publishing tool in your Replit project.

3
Select your preferred geography from the Geography dropdown.

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.

Publishing geography limitations
Before selecting a publishing geography, keep the following 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 published geography.
