Cool visualization and concept. I do wish the colors were on a ramp instead of bucketed. The reason is that it makes 100ms look much worse than 99ms, but equal to 200ms. If you click on us-east-1, for example, the latency to the data centers in Western Europe look quite different with eu-central-1 and eu-south-1 looking completely different even though the latency is only around 9ms difference and eu-north-1 and ap-s…

Re: AWS data center latencies, visualized
#162The data is really useful, and the globe is visually impressive, but it feels like it'd be more practically useful to have a flat world map that shows all the data centers at once and makes it easier to read the lines without them getting excessively close to each other.
Re: AWS data center latencies, visualized
#163How did you choose which datacenters to include? For example, eu-south-2 (Spain) is missing. The reason I know is because I worked on a project that required latency to be under 30ms between datacenters, and we had to use eu-west-1 (Ireland) and eu-south-2. Turns out that latency is closer to 42ms, mainly because there are no undersea cables between Ireland and the continent (they only go to England, then they have t…
Re: AWS data center latencies, visualized
#164It is insane to see this and conceptualize that you can send data across the world and back in under 500ms. Imagine telling someone that 100 years ago.

#165I was just using this the other day: https://aws-latency-test.com/
Re: AWS data center latencies, visualized
#166Cool, but information about what links were used would be nice. I assume it's latencies for default AWS links, which you likely won't use if you _care_ about the latency.
Re: AWS data center latencies, visualized
#167Great visualisation and way of presenting info!
Re: AWS data center latencies, visualized
#168not sure why you/source is missing ca-west-1?
Re: AWS data center latencies, visualized
#169This is really cool, wish there were something like it for Azure as well.
Re: AWS data center latencies, visualized
#170really cool tool, thanks for building this.
