Faster Uploading to Your Neck of the Woods
With customers spread out all over the world, possibly in rural areas that don’t always have the quickest, most stable internet connections, we decided to look at how we could make our digital item uploader the fastest and most reliable uploader around.
Previously, no matter if you were located in New York, London, Berlin, or Sydney, you would upload your digital items to a cluster of our servers located on the east coast of the United States.
We’re happy to say that this is no longer the case.
Now, right before you start uploading, we automatically detect which of our servers in the United States, Europe, or Australia are responding fastest to you. Then, we silently route your uploads to those fastest responding, and most likely closest, servers. After your uploads complete, we find your files all over the world and instantly collect them together in the same location and send them through our processing pipeline.
As an added bonus, when you upload to our United States region, we’ll automatically route your files to either upload servers on the west coast or the east coast, depending on which is closer to you.
We hope that this brand new upload infrastructure we’ve released will go completely unnoticed to you and that your uploads are simply faster and smoother than they’ve ever been.
Happy uploading!
