10/04/2017, 10:35 PMIs there a field for this in the graphcool.yml?

10/04/2017, 11:07 PMYou could add a comment to the environment file I think if you really wanted to. However, it doesn't server any technical purpose to have that information in there. You wouldn't be able to change it, for example, so I think it would lead to confusion or inconsistencies.

10/04/2017, 11:10 PMI agree that's a problem if the region can't change. Are there plans to allow the regions to change? In a perfect world I think changing the region is something you would want to do. I imagine project regions might become a thing of the past as AWS advances and graph.cool instances act more like a CDN, running as close to the user as possible
