Data Center Region
Amplitude operates two data center regions. Select the one that matches your Amplitude project:
| Region | Description |
|---|---|
| US (default) | Standard Amplitude data center in the United States |
| EU | European data center for EU data residency requirements |
You can check your project’s data center in Settings > Organization Settings > Data Center.
Important: You will need the API Key, Secret Key, and correct data center region when configuring the Amplitude destination in Vendo. Using the wrong region will result in authentication errors.
