don't worry about it until its a problem because that might be never.
Do you notice speed differences when you access sites on another continent?

Cost-Effective Global Hosting Solutions for a Laravel Application
I am just finishing work on an application created using Laravel with a MySQL database and Redis.
Initially, I planned to use a VPS from Hetzner (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM) located in Germany.
I know that traffic from Europe should be handled quite well. The question is, what about the other continents?
I know that I can set up several servers and create a load balancer that directs traffic according to location. But this is quite an expensive solution, considering the fact that I don't know if the application will earn anything at all. Plus, it creates a problem with the database. With several servers, I need several databases, and here I have no idea how to do it myself to connect them.
Is there any other relatively inexpensive solution? Or maybe one VPS at the beginning will be enought?
Does Vapor solve this problem? But then won't there be a bill from AWS for 1000 USD?

@Snapey Maybe that's the way.
For now, the app just lives locally. I'll let you know when I publish the app.
