Shipping to the Edge
summary
Edge deployment runs server code on CDN nodes (Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, Fly.io, Deno Deploy, Lambda@Edge) so HTML and data render near the user, cutting latency and letting databases like Fauna sit close to requests. Remix exposes loader/action route modules as the web fetch request/response API and uses server-side data fetching so sites ship less JavaScript to browsers. Combined with React 18 streaming, pages start rendering before slow queries finish, yielding faster TTFB and progressive enhancement without breaking functionality.
