Title

Edge Functions and The Future of the Web Development

Introduction

Edge functions were made available to hobby developers after Netlify and Vercel introduced their edge runtimes. The edge functions will significantly accelerate your serverless backend. In this article, I'll go over edge functions in Vercel's edge runtime. I'll begin by explaining what edge functions are and when and why we should use them in our web development projects. I'll also discuss about the future of web development, specifically whether serverless and cloud functions will be replaced by edge functions.

Key takeaways

By the end of this tutorial,

• One will understand what Edge Functions are, and how to use them.
• One will be able to use the Vercel's edge runtime.
• One will understand the pros and cons of edge functions.

Article quality

Many articles use Netlify, but I want to use the Vercel to demonstrate edge functions. I'll include all of the details about edge functions, including their history related to cloud computing.
