Summary

Vercel has announced that its Edge Config, a ultra-low latency data store for near-instant reads of configuration data, is now generally available alongside integrations with Statsig and HappyKit for A/B testing and Feature Flags. This distributed data store optimizes for near-instant reads by pushing data to every region before requests are made, resulting in most lookups returning in 5 ms or less and 99% of reads under 15 ms. Edge Config is great for A/B testing, feature flags, complex redirects, request blocking rules, and experimentation with tools like Statsig and HappyKit, which can drastically improve performance and load experience by pushing data to the edge when it's changed. Vercel users can now leverage these integrations to get started with Edge Config today.
