## From the publisher

Durable Objects now supports two new location hints for Asia-Pacific: apac-ne (Northeast Asia-Pacific) and apac-se (Southeast Asia-Pacific). Use apac-ne or apac-se when you want finer-grained placement within Asia-Pacific rather than the broader apac hint. Use the new hints the same way as any other locationHint: // Northeast Asia-Pacific (Japan, Korea, etc.) const stubNE = env.MY\_DURABLE\_OBJECT.get(id, \{ locationHint: "apac-ne" \}); // Southeast Asia-Pacific (Singapore, Indonesia, etc.) const stubSE = env.MY\_DURABLE\_OBJECT.get(id, \{ locationHint: "apac-se" \}); If your users are spread across all of Asia-Pacific, the existing apac hint remains the right choice. Only reach for apac-ne or apac-se when your traffic is clearly concentrated in one sub-region and you want to minimize round-trip time to that audience.
