Why heroku push is being rejected?

Does it make any difference using Heroku outside the United States or the EU?

• This talks about Heroku only being available in the US & EU: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/regions I'm not sure I understand this. You can access heroku-hosted websites outside of the US & EU right? You can also log into your own account and push new changes outside of the US or the EU correct (like in Asia etc)? What am I not getting?

• Answer:

  This was done to improve Latency - so that the application's response would be faster for people accessing it from Europe. Heroku is built on Amazon's EC2 which has data centers in Ireland, so it is likely that they are using this for the new EU region service. In the U.S., Heroku’s services are based on Amazon’s North Virginia data center. To demonstrate, I have set up an http://octopress.org/ blog on heroku and installed https://www.blitz.io/ which will allow me to load test my app from simulated locations around the world: Result with app hosted in original NA data center   : 329 MS FROM IRELAND Result with app hosted in new EU data center        : 310 MS FROM IRELAND So as you can see the response is slightly faster when the request is being made from a closer location. What I find amazing is that it took one single command to do this: heroku fork -a sourceapp targetapp --region eu
