Summary

Netlify has announced the public beta launch of Edge Functions, a new serverless runtime powered by Deno, which enables developers to run serverless JavaScript/TypeScript functions right from Netlify's Edge network. This allows for full control over transforming requests and responses, streaming server-rendered content, or even running an entire application at the edge. Edge Functions works seamlessly with web frameworks that support these capabilities and is available on all plans for no additional cost. It offers various features such as streaming edge rendering, React Server Components, content rewrites, user redirection, A/B testing, OAuth authentication, geolocation, localization/globalization, and more. Netlify has also been working closely with JavaScript framework ecosystems to ensure that Edge Functions work great with them on day one.
