Each Supabase project is deployed to one primary region. Choose the location closest to your users for the best performance.
The region you choose also determines where your primary project data is stored. If your data residency requirements call for data to stay within a specific jurisdiction, choose a specific region rather than a general region grouping.
General regions deploy to an available AWS region within that broader area, which may not match a specific jurisdiction. For example, the "Europe" general region includes London and Zurich, which are not EU member states. Region selection is a data-location control, not proof of regulatory compliance. For GDPR considerations, see the GDPR compliance guide.
For most projects, we recommend choosing a general region. Supabase will deploy your project to an available AWS region within that area based on current infrastructure capacity.
<SmartRegionsList />Note: General regions aren’t yet supported for read replicas or management via the API.
If you prefer, you can choose an exact AWS region for your project.
