Abstract

Methods and systems for routing a user request for a service to a version of the service in a geographical region associated with the user are described herein. The service may be deployed in multiple geographical regions, and the service may have multiple versions in each of the geographical regions. A user device may send a request for a service to a first server in a geographical region. The first server may determine whether the user is associated with the geographical region. Responsive to determining that the user is not associated with the geographical region, the first server may ask one or more servers in other geographical regions whether the user is associated with any of the other geographical regions.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a first computing device;
and
a second computing device;
wherein the first computing device is located in a first geographic region and the second computing device is located in a second geographic region;
wherein the first computing device comprises:
one or more first processors;
and
memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the first computing device to:
receive, from a user device, a request for a service, wherein the request indicates an identifier of the service;
and
based on determining that a user of the user device is not associated with the first geographic region, send, to the second computing device, the request to determine whether the user is associated with the second geographic region;
and
wherein the second computing device comprises:
one or more second processors;
and
memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the second computing device to:
receive, from the first computing device, the request to determine whether the user is associated with the second geographic region;
determine that the user is associated with the second geographic region;
after determining that the service requested by the user is not available in the second geographic region, determine the service requested by the user is available in one or more other geographic regions;
and
send, to the first computing device, a response comprising routing information indicating the service in the one or more other geographic regions.

A system comprising:

a first computing device;
and
a second computing device;
wherein the first computing device is located in a first geographic region and the second computing device is located in a second geographic region different from the first geographic region;
wherein the first computing device comprises:
one or more first processors;
and
memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the first computing device to:
receive, from a user device, a request for a service, wherein the request indicates an identifier of the service;
based on determining that a user of the user device is not associated with the first geographic region, send, to the second computing device, a request to determine whether the user is associated with the second geographic region;
receive, from the second computing device, a response indicating that the user is not associated with the second geographic region, wherein the response further indicates routing information indicating the service is available in one or more other geographic regions;
and
route, based on the response and to the one or more other geographic regions, the request for the service;
and
wherein the second computing device comprises:
one or more second processors;
and
memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the second computing device to:
receive the request to determine whether the user is associated with the second geographic region;
and
send the response.
