The Edge at your fingertips, literally!
summary
Claim: Cloudflare pushes serverless to the edge so functions run from over 270 locations with Cloudflare Workers and a warmed runtime that reduces cold starts toward zero milliseconds. The stack shown includes Workers, Pages Functions, KV, Durable Objects, R2 and D1, with concrete demos: geolocation redirects, A/B split routing, retry-on-503 and a chat using durable objects. Caveats: limited per-request CPU, data‑storage latency if the DB isn’t edge‑distributed, and some runtime vendor lock‑in.
