Someone correct me if I’m wrong but:

DIY Anycast is probably beyond most people’s reach, as you need to deal with BGP directly.

One cool trick is using GeoDNS to route the same domain to a different IP depending on the location of the user, but there are some caveats of course due to caching and TTL.

EDIT: Back to Anycast, there are also some providers who allow you BGP configuration, like those: https://www.virtua.cloud/features/your-ip-space - https://us.ovhcloud.com/network/byoip - https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/colocation/pricing/ ... However you still need to get the IPs by yourself, by dealing with your Regional Registry (RIPE in my case, in Europe)
