Edge functions are the latest extension to the serverless ecosystem. They promise low latency by running closer to the user and unlike regular cloud functions have zero cold start. Edge runtimes come in different flavors like Cloudflare Workers, Deno and most recently Bun!
New frameworks like Remix, Astro, SvelteKit and Nuxt3 leverage these new edge runtimes using adapters. And established frameworks and platforms like Next, Vercel and Netlify have added edge support. So this is an exciting time for front-end.
At our meetup on september 1st we had 3 interesting talks about front-end at the edge. Watch the presentations from Gift, Selwyn and Lydia below.
