Google unveils Cloud Platform Region in Singapore

This is a first in Southeast Asia.

Google opens its first Southeast Asia cloud platform in Singapore to improve latency of Google Cloud Platform customers and end users.

According to a blog posted by GCP product manager Dave Stiver, the total number of paid customers in Singapore has increased by 100% over the last 12 months.,

“The experience for GCP customers in Southeast Asia is better than ever too; performance testing shows 51% to 98% reductions in round-trip time (RTT) latency when serving customers in Singapore, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok compared to using other GCP regions in Taiwan or Tokyo," Stiver said.

Customers with a global footprint like BBM Messenger, Carousell and Go-Jek have been looking forward to the launch of the Singapore region.
