Which regions does the Nano Banana API support?
Transend operates POPs in us-east, us-west, eu-central, and ap-southeast. The platform routes to the closest region automatically, and enterprise plans can request private regions or custom data residency.
Can we stream logs into our own observability stack?
Yes. Forward operational events through webhooks or export APIs into Datadog, Grafana, BigQuery, or any system that can ingest JSON streams.
How do we enforce budgets?
Real-time spend analytics live in the dashboard. Define model, team, or tag-based alerts and automatically throttle or downgrade when a budget threshold is reached.
