# vault1984 — Proposed POP Map (Rationalized)
|
||||
# vault1984 — POP Map (AWS + is*hosting)
|
||||
|
||||
## Methodology
|
||||
- AWS for core markets, Atal Networks for everything else
|
||||
- One POP per major region — no clustering in Northern Europe
|
||||
- Every inhabited continent covered
|
||||
- POPs don't scale vertically — you add POPs, not cores
|
||||
- Single Go binary + SQLite per node, ~20MB idle, vault under 1MB
|
||||
## Provider Strategy
|
||||
- **AWS** — core markets where they have regions
|
||||
- **is*hosting** — everything else (real infrastructure, verified via Looking Glass, Equinix/Tier-3+ DCs)
|
||||
- Per-record replication for egress efficiency
|
||||
- Single Go binary + SQLite — no shared state, fully horizontal

| ~~Auckland 🇳🇿~~ | ❌ | — | **BLACK SPOT** — no AWS/is*hosting in NZ, nearest node Sydney |
|

|

|
||||
## ⚠️ Black Spots
|
||||
|
||||
### West Africa
|
||||
- **Lagos 🇳🇬** — Azure hub only, not a deployable region. **Black spot.**
|
||||
- **Accra 🇬🇭, Dakar 🇸🇳, Abidjan 🇨🇮** — nothing real available
|
||||
- All of West Africa = black spot. Starlink + local NUC is the only honest option currently.
|
||||
|
||||
### East Africa
|
||||
- **Nairobi 🇰🇪** — Azure hub only, not a deployable region. **Black spot.**
|
||||
- **Dar es Salaam 🇹🇿, Kampala 🇺🇬, Addis Ababa 🇪🇹** — not in is*hosting, no AWS
|
||||
- All of East Africa = black spot. Same situation as West Africa.
|
||||
|
||||
### Turkey–Egypt region
|
||||
- **Istanbul ✅** — is*hosting, Premier DC
|
||||
- **Cairo 🇪🇬** — NOT in is*hosting's 41 locations. AWS has no Egypt region yet. Azure expanding but not GA.
|
||||
- Cairo = **black spot**. Closest real nodes are Istanbul (~1800km) or Dubai (~2500km).
|
||||
|
||||
### New Zealand 🇳🇿
|
||||
- **Auckland** — not in is*hosting. AWS has no NZ region. Azure has no NZ region.
|
||||
- Nearest real node: Sydney (~2100km).
|
||||
- Auckland = **black spot**. Would need a local provider (Spark NZ, Vodafone NZ colocation) or Starlink.
|
||||
|
||||
### Russia 🇷🇺
|
||||
- **Moscow** — is*hosting has no Russia node (sanctions exposure, payment issues)
|
||||
- AWS, Azure, GCP all withdrew from Russia in 2022
|
||||
- Russia = **black spot by design** — no safe, commercially viable option exists
|
||||
- Kyiv is in is*hosting but that's Ukraine, not a Russia workaround
|
||||
|
||||
### China 🇨🇳
|
||||
- **Hong Kong ✅** — as close as you get without operating inside China
|
||||
- **Mainland China** — requires ICP license from MIIT, mandatory backdoor access, legally incompatible with vault1984's operator-blind model
|
||||
- China mainland = **black spot by architecture** — cannot be done legally without compromising the product

|
||||
## What changed vs. current list
|
||||
|
||||
**Dropped:** Stockholm — three Northern Europe nodes is redundant. London and Zürich cover the market.
|
||||
|
||||
**Added:**
|
||||
- Riyadh 🇸🇦 — Saudi Arabia is spending billions on AI. Different market than Dubai.
|
||||
- Cairo 🇪🇬 — 100M people, North Africa gateway, no major vault presence.
|
||||
- Jakarta 🇮🇩 — AWS has its own region here (ap-southeast-3). 280M people. Obvious gap.
|
||||
- Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾 — SE Asia second hub. Large Muslim-majority market, underserved.
|
||||
- Manila 🇵🇭 — 110M people, massive BPO/developer workforce building agent automations.
|
||||
- Bangkok 🇹🇭 — Completes SE Asia triangle with Singapore + KL.
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
- Lima added from is*hosting (was previously missing from LatAm)
|
||||
- Atal Networks removed — SEO-only, no real exotic infrastructure
|
||||
- Russia and China mainland are architectural black spots, not operational failures
|
||||
- Auckland and Cairo are genuine gaps — local provider research needed
