Change current Realtime Database location

Recently a new region was added for Realtime Database location, europe-west1.

I understand that if I want to move my instance, I could make a second instance and do the move manually. This means coming up with a new name for the new instance, because choosing the same name is not allowed.

Is there a way currently or on the roadmap to migrate the database, keeping its name? A little downtime would not be a problem.

It is currently not possible to move a database instance to another region. You'll have to add a new instance to the same project and create that in the region.

The plan is to allow moving existing instances, but as usual: we won't make predictions on when (or even if) that will be available.
