Durable Objects, Workers - New Asia-Pacific location hints: apac-ne and apac-se

Durable Objects now supports two new location hints for Asia-Pacific: apac-ne (Northeast Asia-Pacific) and apac-se (Southeast Asia-Pacific). Use apac-ne or apac-se when you want finer-grained placement within Asia-Pacific rather than the broader apac hint.

Use the new hints the same way as any other locationHint:

If your users are spread across all of Asia-Pacific, the existing apac hint remains the right choice. Only reach for apac-ne or apac-se when your traffic is clearly concentrated in one sub-region and you want to minimize round-trip time to that audience. The default behavior and what we generally recommended is not adding a location hint unless absolutely needed, this will create the Durable Object as close to the initializing request as possible to reduce latency.

As with all location hints, these are best-effort suggestions. Cloudflare will place the Durable Object in a nearby data center, not necessarily the exact hinted location.
