Hi there,
A quick update here, DigitalOcean has announced new Global Load Balancers (currently in beta) which will allow you to distribute traffic to Droplets in different regions for high availability (HA) and performance.
Whereas regional load balancers distribute traffic within a single region, global load balancers span multiple regions and route users to your nearest available backend Droplet.
For more information you can check out this documentaiton here:
