Data residency realm pinning support is now available in EAP for Forge remote.
Forge remote data residency provides you with the flexibility to help meet data residency requirements by pinning remote endpoints to specific regions. This capability, combined with the automatic support for Forge hosted storage, can help you provide a more comprehensive data compliance solution.
With region-based URLs, you can help ensure in-scope End-User Data is stored and processed in the right locations, building customer trust.
This feature takes an important step toward enabling app migration from Connect to Forge by addressing some data residency requirements. By using realm pinning for remote endpoints, you can begin aligning your apps with compliance needs and support the transition to Forge. For more details about adopting Forge from Connect, see How to adopt Forge from Connect.
We are delivering Data Residency in two parts:
- Realm Pinning: Allows customers to pin their apps to the same region as their products.
- Realm Migrations: Enables migration of apps from one region to another.
Realm Pinning EAP is now available. During this phase, you can add your region URLs to your Forge manifest and test the implementation by pinning a test site.
Note that during the EAP, all changes related to setting up data residency are confined to the your non-production environment for testing.
