Why Azion Chose the V8 Engine for Edge Functions
Blog post from Azion
Azion's new serverless computing product, Edge Functions, leverages Google's V8 Engine to enhance performance, security, and cost-efficiency by running JavaScript and WebAssembly code at the edge of the network. The V8 Engine, known for its fast garbage collection, hidden classes, inline caching, and fine-grained sandboxing, efficiently compiles high-level JavaScript into machine code, allowing Edge Functions to execute with reduced latency and resource use compared to traditional serverless solutions like AWS Lambda. By utilizing multitenancy, Azion eliminates the need for containerization, thus avoiding cold starts and enabling functions to scale automatically at the closest edge node to the user. This results in lower operational costs and improved performance, making Edge Functions suitable for various applications, such as modernizing legacy systems and building low-latency, event-driven applications. Edge Functions with JavaScript support is now accessible to all Azion users, promoting ease of use and agility in developing edge-native applications.
