2. The regionalized SaaS hostname is set up as a CNAME record that directs traffic to the standard [Fallback Origin](/cloudflare-for-platforms/cloudflare-for-saas/start/getting-started/#1-create-fallback-origin) of the SaaS provider (`fallback.myappexample.com`).
3. The fallback origin is a CNAME DNS record that points to a [public hostname](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-networks/routing-to-tunnel/) exposed by Cloudflare Tunnel. This public hostname should be configured to route traffic to your application, for example, `localhost:8080`.

This setup is ideal for SaaS providers that do not need granular load balancing, such as [geo-based traffic steering](/load-balancing/understand-basics/traffic-steering/), across multiple origin servers. It's also well-suited for simple testing and development environments, where [protecting your origin server](/fundamentals/basic-tasks/protect-your-origin-server/) by only allowing requests through the Cloudflare Tunnel is sufficient. However, for distributed applications requiring load balancing at both global and local levels, we recommend using [Cloudflare's Load Balancer](/load-balancing/) with global and local traffic management capabilities.
