We don't have a firm roadmap for future regions, but Seoul is high up on my wish list.
Our infrastructure is all dedicated hosts, mostly running in Equinix facilities (we buy a lot of servers from what used to be packet.com).
New regions are hard in one particular way. Since we accept anycast traffic, ever new region has to be anycast-able for us. We outsource anycast management so we're kind of stuck waiting on other providers to opt in to a region.
When we get to a scale where we can manage our own anycast and decide we want to, we will be able to ship new regions relatively quickly. Some places are harder to get servers to than others, but we don't actually need a very large footprint to get started.
