What this post added

This post re-evaluates the primary drivers for edge computing adoption, moving beyond speed to emphasize consistency, cost, ease of use, and compliance. It highlights Cloudflare Workers' 'zero nanosecond cold starts' as a key differentiator for consistency and discusses how Cloudflare's network architecture and peering can lead to lower costs compared to traditional serverless platforms. The post also introduces Matthew's Hierarchy of Developers' Needs, prioritizing consistency, cost, ease of use, and compliance over speed.
