Cloudflare D1
The threat: EU customers fall under GDPR, which expects their order and account data to stay in region.
The fix: Edge logic routes and stores each customer record in its jurisdiction, EU customers to the EU.
So what: Provable EU customer-data residency, unblocking EU market expansion.

Cloudflare D1
The threat: On a limited drop, bots pile in and oversell the inventory, leaving real shoppers with cancelled orders.
The fix: A single atomic D1 write guards the stock count, so it can never oversell, even under a buying stampede.
So what: Fair limited drops with zero overselling or chargebacks, even when bots swarm.
