Which UK data-centre options? AWS eu-west-2 vs Adobe Commerce Cloud Dublin

Two main options, picked on regulatory + latency basis. AWS eu-west-2 (London), physically in the UK, sub-20ms TTFB to City of London, perfect for UK GDPR data-residency requirements. Self-hosted: EC2 + RDS Aurora MySQL + ElastiCache Redis + OpenSearch. Cost: £500, £1,500/month for typical M2 store. Adobe Commerce Cloud Dublin (eu-west-1), managed PaaS, ~10ms RTT from London (the Atlantic landing point is in Dublin), GDPR-compliant since Dublin is EU. Cost: £1,200, £3,500/month, but Adobe handles patching, scaling, fastly CDN. We usually recommend Adobe Cloud Dublin for stores £1M+ GMV (predictable cost, less ops burden) and AWS eu-west-2 for tighter budgets, B2B portals needing custom networking, or strict "data must stay in UK" mandates. We also support Microsoft Azure UK South, Google Cloud London, and Hyvä Cloud London.
