How to change db from US West to EU West? I saw the options, but I can't select them.
Hello, my application was initially deployed to US West but since I reside in EU, I would prefer my data to be stored in EU.

N/Aregions is a pro feature, you would need to be on a pro plan
Hmm, didn't know that, I think though it's a big stretch, that just having my db in one region, it would lead me to change plan. isn't this though GDPR policy that EU people to have their data in EU?
does the GDPR policy still apply to people hosting hobby projects? stuff that doesn’t deal the client information
Hehe, that I don't know, so if I get you right railway treats hobby projects not to be production ready projects that can store clients information?
well its more like if you have an project on railway with a userbase and are dealing with users data, thats more so a pro use-case
I see, though honestly as a very small startup, we wanted to do the set-up like db right from the start, so that when we get more users, then we don't have to start dealing with migration of db region, but also for now we also don't want to pay more for just having db in EU-west. But when the time comes, and we upgrade the plan, is changing a region, a one click task or do we have to do other manual work?
changing the region is a 1 click task, there will of course be down time, but it is one click (well 1 click and some confirm dialogs)
Sure then we are good, thanks for the clarification
no problem!
