Edge Functions or Cloud functions

Edge functions are gaining a lot of popularity, as they provide the power to compute on the edge. Think of them like a Content Delivery Network (CDN) but with the power and ability to run computations.

The primary benefits of edge functions are that they provide very low latency, which greatly helps improve performance, and they use an automatic distributed deployment, which mitigates single points of failure and helps improve scalability.

Edge functions and microfrontends work quite well hand in hand, where you can have each micro app deployed within a cloud function; this automatically allows for modular deployments, and each team can manage its cloud functions independently.

Cloudflare is one of the most popular providers that support cloud functions. Cloudflare Workers and most recently Cloudflare Pages support computing on the edge. Here is an example of how to deploy a Next.js App on Cloudflare Pages using Edge Runtime.
