The shared service is currently only active on the AU node,
isolated services are available in all regions - pricing.

SPACES  
When you set up a space, you can choose:
  • the region for your space and thus where your data is stored

  • to optionally lock your space - which stops replication for the http state channel.  Typically done for governance/sovereignty requirements.  It reduces redundancy significantly.
  
DESIGN  

mydigitalstructure uses a "http state channel" to replicate state changes to multiple regions, based on single on-region http request.

It is self-organising - in that if any one region should go offline - using DNS level TTL switching and other region will take over.  When the offline region comes back online it sends a request out to find the region with the best knowledge of the missing state information and requests a "replay" of the missing state.  Once this is complete, it announces itself as available.
