Experimenting with moving more logic to the edge.
The Question

Current Findings
Latency improvements are dramatic for read-heavy workloads. Write operations are trickier—need to think carefully about consistency.
The mental model shift is the hardest part. You start thinking about geography in ways you never did before.
