Wasm modules start in milliseconds and use a tenth the memory of containers.
Moving personalization logic to the edge eliminates the latency that kills user experience.
Edge providers need billing built for workloads that move and spike, not flat fees.
Latency and compliance drive adoption of truly distributed databases over hand-managed regions.
Different language choices and platform models create vastly different cold start costs to fix.
Durable Objects pair compute with storage to eliminate edge latency without sacrificing consistency.
V8 isolates beat containers on latency, but only when data lives at the edge.
