Frequently Asked Questions

• Is there a way to change my chosen cluster after I’ve created an app? Say you set up your app with the North American Cluster because your development team is in the U.S., but your app is accessed the most from South America. Can you change to the SA Cluster at that time?
  • We can migrate the application between the US, EU, and SA zones for an administrative fee.
• I’m located in Asia/Australia; which cluster is best for me?
  • It really depends on where the majority of your users are. Contact our support to get specific addresses of the servers so you can test the speed and see for yourself where you get a better response time.
• I’m on Backendless Cloud but would like my own custom server setup. What are my options?
  • Your best option is Backendless Pro. With Backendless Pro, you can run Backendless on your own servers. Either way, we are happy to help establish servers on whichever continent works best for you (additional fees may apply).
    
• 🇧🇷 Why is the Brazilian Flag Associated with the South American Cluster?
