We identified two primary reasons to diversify our data hosting locations. First, having a separate region with a full instance of the Linear application makes future scaling simpler. If we can host some workspaces in a particular infrastructure deployment (application servers, databases, etc.), then we can add other regions behind the scenes in the future to avoid hitting scaling limits on, for instance, the size of our primary Postgres server. From the early beginnings of Linear, we’ve sought to invest in our foundation preemptively, always having an eye on potential future bottlenecks we might encounter. This enables us to build out the best possible
