We currently have a setup where our front end Angular App and our Api are hosted within an Azure Web App(which is in 32 bit Windows configuration) which connects to a db in AU region. We are thinking of moving the Front end out of the Web App into an Azure Static WebApp and Use a linux Docker container based Azure Web App for reduced pricing.My question is, since Azure Static Web Apps are not available in AU region would there be any latency if I connected my AU based Azure Web App as an Api to the new Static Web App. Microsoft says Static Web App are non region based, but its only available in these regions.

Answer 1

Azure Static Web Apps is a global service. Your app's static assets are globally distributed . When you create your app, you select a region where the managed Azure Functions app is deployed.

If you need your Functions app in a region that doesn't support managed functions, you can use the Bring your own Functions app feature with a Functions app you deploy separately.
