As we work to make a faster Web, increasing speed typically looks like moving more towards the edge—but sometimes requests are served fastest when those computing resources are close to a data source. Today, we’re introducing regional execution of Edge Functions to address this. Regional execution of Edge Functions allow you to specify the region your Edge Function executes in. This capability allows you to run your functions near your data to avoid high-latency waterfalls while taking advantage of the fast cold start times of Edge Functions and ensuring your users have the best experience possible. Link to heading Avoiding waterfalls with regional execution of Edge Functions Vercel CTO Malte Ubl recently shared how to achieve ultra-low latency rendering at the edge at this year’s P99 Conference, a virtual event discussing Internet latency and performance. He outlined historic approaches to rendering sites and new challenges faced by bringing rendering to the edge.…
