In May 2023, we announced our limited release of two new Heroku Private Spaces regions: India (Mumbai) and Canada (Montreal). This month, we’re announcing the full general availability of those two regions, along with new Heroku Private Spaces regions for the United Kingdom (London) and Singapore. This expansion enables customers to maintain greater control over where their data is stored and processed. These four new regions fully support Heroku Private Spaces, Heroku Shield Private Spaces, Heroku Postgres, Apache Kafka on Heroku, Heroku Data for Redis, Heroku Connect, and most Heroku Add-ons.

Heroku is excited to announce the addition of a third availability zone (AZ) for our Private Spaces product offering. Three availability zones make Private Space apps more resilient to outages.

The changeover to three availability zones is fully managed by Heroku.
