Suggestion: Ask for region choices as a part of app deployment workflow #738

Open v1gnesh opened 2 years ago

v1gnesh commented 2 years ago

We've seen a handful of cases in the forum where folks have experienced issues due to the implicit backup region choice made automatically. Latest example: https://community.fly.io/t/i-also-cannot-deploy

Like there's a prompt asking for region when deploying an app, should it also ask what one wants to do about the backup region? That way, they know what to expect (fewer cases of 'why is my thing running there').

Similarly, if a DB is being deployed, should the workflow

Of course, feel free to remove the 'bug' label and use whatever is appropriate.

Good idea! We'll probably be dropping backup regions shortly until we can rethink it with our new Nomad-free architecture. Then we'll revisit these topics.
