# Deploy to a region

You can deploy your code to a specific region by [creating a project](https://northflank.com/docs/v1/application/getting-started/create-a-project) in that region. This allows jobs or services to be run closer to customers, your development team, or external service for better connectivity.

You cannot change the region of a project after it is created, and all resources deployed in that project will be deployed in that region. [Builds](https://northflank.com/docs/v1/application/build/build-your-code-on-northflank), unless [configured to run on your own cluster](https://northflank.com/docs/v1/application/bring-your-own-cloud/configure-your-cluster#select-build-infrastructure), are performed on Northflank build infrastructure outside your project.

Northflank currently supports the following regions:

| Region | API reference | Global region |

You can also [integrate with other cloud providers](https://northflank.com/docs/v1/application/bring-your-own-cloud/use-other-cloud-providers-with-northflank) to deploy your own clusters, which will allow you to create projects hosted on your chosen cloud provider, in the regions they support.

## Network resources across multiple regions

Resources in a project are, by default, inaccessible from other projects. To allow resources in different projects to communicate you can either:

- create a public port, which exposes your service or database to the public internet

- [allow network ingress from your other projects](https://northflank.com/docs/v1/application/network/enable-multi-project-networking) which allows you to use private, secure ports as well as TCP and UDP protocols
