Problem
Some organizations want or need to have their data hosted in a particular region/country. Today users can accomplish this by self-managing, but a growing proportion want GitLab to manage the service for them.
We currently only offer a GitLab service in one region, the United States.
Potential solutions
There are multiple solutions to this problem, for example:
- Region settings on GitLab.com, where the customer's data is then hosted in the selected region. This is what Google Docs offers for US/EU.
- Independent multi-tenant SaaS service in a region, for example GitLab.EU: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/12445 & https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/issues/4796 (working to consolidate)
- Single-tenant SaaS in a set of regions: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5043
