Data residency is becoming a pricing tier

Regulatory and sovereignty pressure turned data location into a first-class product decision. "Your data stays in your region, in your boundary, under your control" is now a feature enterprises will pay a premium for.

Vendors are packaging residency, isolation, and control as upgrade tiers rather than burying them in compliance docs.

Signal: sovereignty is monetizable. If you serve regulated buyers, residency belongs on the pricing page.
