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.
