Upcoming Change: Improved Experimental Routing for Read Replica Load Balancers

Mar 27, 2025

Starting on April 4th, 2025, we will be enhancing the routing behavior for experimental routing on eligible Data API requests. This change affects GET requests to Data APIs only; the routing behavior for all other requests remains unchanged:

Current behavior: Round-robin distribution among all databases (primary and all read replicas) in your project

New behavior: Geo-routing that directs requests to the closest available database

This enhancement delivers a better experience for your users by minimizing latency to your project. You can maximize these benefits by strategically placing Read Replicas close to your major customer locations.
