The Edge Computing Opportunity: It’s Not What You Think

This post argues that while speed is a benefit of edge computing, consistency (zero nanosecond cold starts), cost-effectiveness (due to efficient architecture), ease of use, and compliance are more important drivers for adoption. It highlights Cloudflare Workers' ability to achieve near-zero cold starts, positioning it as a leader in consistency. The post also touches on the cost advantages of edge computing due to Cloudflare's network architecture and peering.
