Where are Hygraph projects being hosted?
Hygraph projects are physically hosted on state-of-the-art Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure.
Projects on Dedicated Infrastructure, an Enterprise service, can be hosted in every available region in the AWS global network. Contact us for more information.
Projects on Shared Infrastructures give you 9 options on which data centers to host your content in:
- Australia (Sydney)
- Brazil (São Paulo)
- Canada (Montreal)
- Germany (Frankfurt)
- India (Mumbai)
- Japan (Tokyo)
- US East (North Virginia)
- US West (Oregon)
- United Kingdom (London)
When creating a new project, you can select which of these locations best suits your project.
Note: Regardless of where you host your content (select an option closest to you), all content and assets will be cached and served from our globally distributed edge network.
Is the Hygraph architecture horizontally scalable?
Yes, Hygraph is hosted on a scalable state-of-the-art server architecture hosted by Amazon Web Services and based on PostgresQL.
Is Hygraph multi-tenant (shared between several countries)?
Yes, this is possible with project cloning. We support hosting in nine regions out of the box.
- Australia (Sydney)
- Brazil (São Paulo)
- Canada (Montreal)
- Germany (Frankfurt)
- India (Mumbai)
- Japan (Tokyo)
- US East (North Virginia)
- US West (Oregon)
- United Kingdom (London)
More regions are available with dedicated infrastructure upon request. To explore our dedicated infrastructure options, get in touch.
Is the storage size or the number of entries and records in a Hygraph project limited?
Depending on your plan, there are no limits on storage or project entries and records.
What are the Hygraph latency metrics?
This depends on your location, the location of your users, and the complexity of your GraphQL queries. We aim for a latency of a maximum of 70-100 ms for requests.
How does Hygraph host assets?
The assets are delivered via our provider Filestack who use Fastly as their content distribution network (CDN).
Where are my application files (e.g. html and javascript) hosted?
Your application files are usually in your control. We provide the API for the content but not a full-stack solution to manage your frontend deployments. A lot of our users use a myriad of services like Netlify, Vercel, Azure, AWS, or Heroku to host and deploy.
What does Hygraph use for monitoring & regression testing its GraphQL servers?
We have different testing strategies to avoid regressions. It is a mix of unit testing and integration tests. We also periodically run automated tests against canary deployments before releasing new features, to ensure we don’t introduce regressions.
Regarding monitoring, we use LSTIO (Prometheus) for monitoring low-level metrics (like resources as CPU, memory, networks throughput, etc), as well as apollo engine for our management server, which is used by the web app (e.g. to create a project, create a model, etc).
