Test Your Connection Path Before Choosing a Cloud Mac Node
DPLYMAC currently offers 5 nodes in Singapore, Japan (Tokyo), South Korea (Seoul), Hong Kong, and the U.S. East Coast. Every order maps to one dedicated physical machine—not a virtual machine. When choosing a location, check team timezones, repository location, dependency routes, and real build time—not just geographic distance.
- Available Nodes
- 5 regions
- Physical Resources
- 1 order = 1 machine
- Operating Schedule
- 365 days of continuous operation
Break node selection into four verifiable conditions
The lowest ping does not always mean the shortest delivery time. Builds also involve code pulls, dependency downloads, signing, artifact uploads, and notification callbacks. First identify where your main users and critical dependencies are located.
Primary Access Cities
Test all 5 nodes from each real office network. Do not rely on a mobile hotspot or temporary proxy as your only basis. Cross-border teams should retest from every major office location.
- Record
- Median latency, jitter, packet loss
- Pass Criteria
- Stable and repeatable interaction
Team Work Timezones
For interactive development, stay close to members who are online during the day. For overnight automated builds, hand tasks to the next timezone to reduce developer wait time.
- Record
- Commit peaks and acceptance windows
- Pass Criteria
- Someone is available when the build finishes
Repository Location
Pull and submodule update times for the same project can vary significantly by node. Testing should include full clones, incremental pulls, dependency restoration, and artifact uploads.
- Record
- Clone, cache restoration, and upload time
- Pass Criteria
- Stable primary repository route
CI Dependency Services
Include package mirrors, object storage, test APIs, and release targets in the route. Testing only remote desktop access while ignoring dependencies will underestimate full pipeline time.
- Record
- Dependency response and retry behavior
- Pass Criteria
- No sustained timeouts from critical services
Choose by Team Routes, Not Straight-Line Map Distance
Use these recommendations to narrow your first test round. Make the final choice using your own fixed network, real repository, and complete build process.
Singapore Node
Suitable for Southeast Asian teams, cross-border collaboration, and builds targeting Singapore-based dependency services. Test from Singapore, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and each team’s actual office city.
- Test First
- Singapore, Hong Kong, Shenzhen
- Best For
- Southeast Asian development, dependency downloads, regional CI
- Verify
- Cross-border jitter, repository cloning, artifact return
- Do Not Judge Only By
- A single lowest ping
Japan (Tokyo) Node
Built for Japan Mac server and Tokyo Cloud Mac use cases, supporting Xcode builds, testing, and continuous integration for teams in Japan and Northeast Asia.
- Test First
- Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai
- Best For
- Development for Japanese teams, Northeast Asian builds, release preparation
- Verify
- Repository pulls, dependency caching, upload routes
- Recommended Method
- Compare daytime work and overnight builds
South Korea (Seoul) Node
Suitable for Korea Mac server needs, daily development by Seoul teams, and automated testing and build queues that depend on local Korean services.
- Test First
- Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai
- Best For
- Korean team development, local API testing, CI execution
- Verify
- Dependency response, graphical sessions, build retries
- Recommended Method
- Retest on a fixed office network
Hong Kong Node
Suitable for teams in South China, Hong Kong, and Macau testing cross-border connectivity, as well as remote development tasks that need fast handoff during UTC+8 work hours.
- Test First
- Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Shanghai
- Best For
- South China collaboration, graphical development, short-cycle builds
- Verify
- Peak-hour jitter, file sync, session recovery
- Recommended Method
- Run one round during the day and one at night
U.S. East Coast Node
Suitable for teams in the North American Eastern timezone or near local code hosts and dependency services, and for asynchronous CI handoffs after Asian teams submit overnight.
- Test First
- New York, Frankfurt, team office locations
- Best For
- North American dependencies, asynchronous pipelines, artifact processing
- Verify
- Repository routes, object storage, return time
- Recommended Method
- Compare total time across the full pipeline
Median Ping from 9 Test Cities to 5 Nodes
Samples use fixed business broadband at each test location, sending 20 consecutive requests from 10:00–12:00 on local business days and taking the median. Values are in milliseconds and only narrow the first-round candidates; retest on your own network before making the final choice.
| Test City | Singapore SG | Tokyo JP | Seoul KR | Hong Kong HK | U.S. East Coast US-E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing | 92 ms | 56 ms | 63 ms | 39 ms | 181 ms |
| Shanghai | 78 ms | 42 ms | 48 ms | 31 ms | 174 ms |
| Shenzhen | 45 ms | 62 ms | 71 ms | 18 ms | 188 ms |
| Hong Kong | 37 ms | 52 ms | 61 ms | 8 ms | 181 ms |

Lock In Your Production Node After Three Validation Rounds
Each step has inputs, actions, completion criteria, and a fallback point. Do not move your full CI queue after a single ping test.
-
01
Test the Local Network First
From each main office, use a fixed network to run consecutive tests on all 5 nodes, recording median latency, peak variation, and packet loss.
- Input
- Primary office networks and test windows
- Completion Criteria
- At least two repeatable sample sets
- Fallback
- Retest after changing networks
-
02
Compare Median Latency and Jitter
Keep two candidates from the 5 nodes, covering both normal work hours and build peaks. Focus on stable ranges, not a single minimum value.
- Input
- Complete results from 20 requests
- Completion Criteria
- Select a primary and backup candidate
- Fallback
- Compare again across a wider sampling window
-
03
Run a Real Repository Build
Using the same commit, dependency lockfile, and cache strategy, complete cloning, building, testing, and artifact uploads on both candidate nodes.
- Input
- Reproducible repository and build commands
- Completion Criteria
- Total time and logs are verifiable
- Fallback
- Switch to the backup node and continue validation
