(Possibly first ever of its kind ever from a non-software root cause) Many workloads on Vercel are global in nature. Routing Middleware for instance automatically deploys compute to every region. In addition to rerouting traffic successfully to 𝚋𝚘𝚖𝟷, we’re also excluding Dubai from all Function and Routing Middleware creations.
