Deployments != unique codebases.

Try but read the full comment chain again to understand the context of our discussion.

I did. Your concern about data needing to be isolated due to regulation doesn’t require you to make a complete copy of the code.

>“So almost certainly they are duplicating their entire stack per-country if only to get around the vastly different regulatory environments.”

Responding comment says no they are not and the services are built to handle global traffic.

I respond and say I doubt that due to on soil laws.

You can argue two regions with different configurations but the same code bases are different services but that’s not what we’re talking about here.

I re-read the chain and don’t follow your argument.

Do you mean that your original point was about deployments to begin with?

FWIW I work in a microservices shop for a global app in an extremely regulation heavy industry, and we run a single codebase per service, segregating regulator-imposed behaviour via flags to deployments

[whatwhaaaaat]

were discussing if Uber has on soil deployments. Unless they are running afoul of on soil laws they likely do.

Your fwiw is exactly what we’re taking about here and I’d venture a guess nearly half this site works for some Corp with duck tape, hope, and micro services powering their junk. Me too!
