This is a solution to problem that does not exists. In database heavy apps the latency is the least of the concern. unless that architecture is not optimal in some cases to meet compliance.
What do you mean? The problem is single regional databases and speed of light.
Cloudflare moves the application closer to the end user, including the DB, to their edge network.
Additionally, what multiple regions solve ( mostly) is now solved in a simpler way. Cloudflare has no regions, it's a smart fix for a big problem.
I do wonder how they solve compliance ( eg. Storing data in a certain country and not abroad) as far as I knew they were working on it and they most definitely considered it in their design ( old blog post - or at least they are aware of the issue after talking with big enterprises), but I can't find a trace of it in their recent blog posts.
