Vercel Edge Functions are now generally available

Edge Functions are JavaScript, TypeScript, or WebAssembly functions that operate within a leaner runtime, deployed globally by default, and run in the region closest to the request for lowest latency. They offer faster and more cost-effective compute capabilities compared to traditional Serverless functions. Vercel's Edge Functions now support regional deployment, allowing developers to specify a region preference close to their data source. This enables faster compute for tasks that don't require database queries, while maintaining the benefit of fast, global compute. The runtime is built on the V8 engine used by the Chrome browser and doesn't run within a MicroVM, making Edge Functions generally faster and more cost-effective than traditional serverless. With increased workload size limits and improved infrastructure, Edge Functions are now generally available for all customers, offering seamless interoperability with Serverless functions and a great developer experience.
