Frequently Asked Questions

What is serverless edge computing?

It runs short functions in provider locations close to users or devices, so responses are faster and less traffic crosses the network, without managing servers.

Edge functions or regional serverless?

Edge functions start quickly and suit routing, personalisation and API middleware but have tighter limits on runtime, memory and libraries. Regional functions suit heavier work and direct database access.

What about devices and gateways?

Platforms such as AWS IoT Greengrass and Azure IoT Edge run functions on devices, so processing continues when connectivity is poor.

Where does WebAssembly fit?

WebAssembly gives small, fast-starting, sandboxed functions, so runtimes such as WasmEdge and wasmCloud are increasingly used at the edge.
