Previously, uncached content requests were always routed to a single US-based origin server, causing higher latency for users elsewhere. An August 2022 update notes that Cloud Functions for Firebase, starting with Firebase CLI version 11.4.0, now supports these new global origins, letting developers set a function region so Hosting automatically routes to the nearest one. Cloud Run rewrites outside the US were already supported as an interim option. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Does Firebase Hosting support origin servers outside the United States? Yes, Firebase Hosting added origin servers in Europe and Asia in addition to the original US-based server. Previously, any cache-miss request was routed all the way back to the single US origin server, causing higher latency for distant users; the new regional origins reduced global Time To First Byte by 20% and cut uncached content load waiting time by 50% in Asia. _daily.dev helps developers track infrastructure changes like Firebase's global origin expansion as they ship._ ### Can Cloud Functions for Firebase be deployed outside the United States? Yes, as of version 11.4.0 of the Firebase CLI, Cloud Functions for Firebase support Hosting's new global origins. Developers can set a region in their function code and Hosting will automatically route to that function from the nearest global region, whereas previously functions could only be deployed to the US origin server, adding latency for users elsewhere. _Developers planning multi-region Firebase deployments can follow updates like this one on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Edge Functions vs Serverless 2026: The Honest Truth](https://daily.dev/posts/edge-functions-vs-serverless-2026-the-honest-truth-tjktppggt) · Alex CloudStar · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#firebase](https://daily.dev/tags/firebase), [#gcp-cloud-functions](https://daily.dev/tags/gcp-cloud-functions) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/firebase-hosting-now-has-origin-servers-in-europe-and-asia-ynpvfsd2i) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Firebase Hosting now has origin servers in Europe and Asia","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/firebase-hosting-now-has-origin-servers-in-europe-and-asia-ynpvfsd2i","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/firebase-hosting-now-has-origin-servers-in-europe-and-asia-ynpvfsd2i"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:19:37.811Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:27:58.195Z","description":"Firebase Hosting expanded its origin servers beyond the United States to Europe and Asia, cutting global Time To First Byte by 20% and reducing cache-miss...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/c93262f1f827dc676aae8bcf8f503b19?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/c93262f1f827dc676aae8bcf8f503b19?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Firebase","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Firebase","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--i395oqZH--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487448/logos/firebase-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/firebase-hosting-now-has-origin-servers-in-europe-and-asia-ynpvfsd2i","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"firebase,gcp-cloud-functions","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Firebase","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Firebase Hosting now has origin servers in Europe and Asia"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/firebase-hosting-now-has-origin-servers-in-europe-and-asia-ynpvfsd2i#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Does Firebase Hosting support origin servers outside the United States?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, Firebase Hosting added origin servers in Europe and Asia in addition to the original US-based server.
