Hi!
We're using Firebase Hosting for some time and had all databases and cloud infrastructure set in europe to follow the quite nasty GDPR of a EU country.
Now, a client told us that our hosted webapp is located in "North America, United States, California, Mountain View".

Is there a way to set the hosting region somehow? We are searching for hours in GCP and Firebase. We found this anouncement, but no info how to set it up:

There are many of tutorials and docs for other firebase services, but not for plain hosting.

We really need help to follow the GDPR, or risk financial penaltis over several thousands Euro.

Thanks in advance!

Dom

Is that web app as in, firebase app hosting - i.e. a full-stack application? If so that's configured when you create an instance; see the screenshot attached.

If you mean web app hosting, as in a static web application - It's deployed to a global CDN so there isn't really a concept of a server for it to be hosted on. The web application code itself will be deployed to the CDN but no processing would take place; so unless the web app code itself contains data which cannot be processed in the US - I don't think there is a GDPR issue?
