Geo-location Based Routing

Waves intelligently routes every request to the nearest server cluster to ensure the lowest possible latency for your applications. We currently operate server clusters in:

India (Mumbai)
USA (Oregon)

Our routing system automatically detects the client’s geographical location and connects them to the optimal server based on network proximity and latency. This process is fully automated, no manual configuration is required on your side.
