On the Edge of My Server

Track: Web and Front-end
Abstract

Edge functions can be potentially game changing. You get the power of serverless functions but running at the CDN level - meaning the response is incredibly fast. All the providers are piling into the space – AWS, Cloudflare, Netlify and Vercel to name just a few – but all the offerings are quite different. In this talk, we’ll explore why edge functions can be powerful, the different offerings available, and examples of how you can use them on different providers.
