# aws-closest-region

Automatically select the closest AWS region and significantly reduce latency 🔥

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mtojek/aws-closest-region.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/mtojek/aws-closest-region)

Status: **Done**

Find the **closest AWS region** to your customers and **reduce the latency** while accessing the service endpoint. The application can be used in both - **local development** environment and **remote production hosts**.

```aws-closest-region``` can automatically discover new launched regions!

## Live



## Features

 * support **100% AWS regions** in all non-gov partitions (incl. China)

 * support **100% AWS services** (also brand new ones)

 * latency measured using the HTTP protocol (*/ping* service endpoint) instead of the ICMP messages

 * **quick integration** with shell scripts (``AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=`aws-closest-region` ``)

 * automatically detect next launched endpoints (use AWS SDK models)

 * verbose mode to show all latencies
