6 Reasons Why Starts-ups

should Adapt to Multi-region

Application Architecture

What is Multi-region Application Architecture?

Multi-region application architecture ensures we add a

secondary region or more than one region with a
serverless active/passive workload. An asynchronous
replication takes over when a disaster tends to occur. In
this scenario, an application fail-over is executed to
another region.

Need for Fault Tolerance in Multi-region Application

Fault tolerance becomes a complex challenge for

application developers. This also means more
application, data, and network redundancies are
added.

The multi-region applications create a resilient

region and security by restricting intrusion from
unauthorized persons. The traffic generated from
the different areas can be severed from the region
of origin.

Therefore, multi-region architecture better serves

the needs of startups.

Reduced Latency for customers become essential. In this case, startups with

Customers across
operations located in urban centers have diverse audiences
to serve across different geographies.

Regions The latency problem is more prominent in startups with a

global presence extending the need to use other cloud

regions. The deployment of an application in such a case will
not be restricted to a single area.

Thus, the benefit of choosing a multi-region comes into play.

In latency based routing, application latencies can be below
100 milliseconds, adding multi-regional approach and this
can help applications across regions.

 Need to Increase User Base

Startups need to quickly grow their user base to increase service profitability. The
requirement of adding users outside the geographic extent of one country is a prerequisite
before moving towards a multi-region application platform.

The issues in the user access to the services of startups due to increased latency reduced
the growth in the user base.

Therefore, the need to adopt a multi-region platform comes when a demand is created for
the users. Cloud-based services such as Nife help startups make use of multiple regions to
excel and grow the business.

Any critical business needs to visualize the
risk and plan accordingly to safeguard
future interests.

With resilience in built and automatic fail-

application can mutually be configured for
future risks and simultaneously reinforce
the business.

 Summary

For hardcore tech startups, the focus is on the core of the

technology.

The multi-region, along with the serverless nature of

applications, can easily be managed by a deployment
platform hence improving the manageability of the
applications across any cloud or on-premises infrastructure.
