multi geo infra
so the plan that i have is create your own edge network, rent 4 server: 1 germany, 2 usa(east and west cost) and asia like japan and handle server distance request with cloudflare(which i don't know this part) can this be done? (the servers will include the web app - like apis etc) if so how?

Cloudflare has offers a load balancing addon for this:

Cloudflare Load Balancing distributes traffic across your servers, which reduces server strain and latency and improves the experience for end users.
You can steer based on monitor data (CF measures latency from locations to each origin pool and selects one with lowest latency), or based on proximity/geo coords, or based on geographic region: https://developers.cloudflare.com/load-balancing/understand-basics/traffic-steering/steering-policies/
