From CDNs to Frontend Clouds

What this post added

This post elaborates on the concept of 'frontend clouds' and how they address the limitations of traditional CDNs and IaC for modern web applications. It highlights the shift towards full-stack development enabled by meta-frameworks and introduces 'framework-defined infrastructure' as a core principle of Vercel's frontend cloud. The post explains how Vercel's platform translates framework code into infrastructure, abstracting away complexity and enabling developers to consistently achieve speed, global presence, scalability, dynamism, reliability, and security. It emphasizes the blurring of lines between development and infrastructure, where code-level optimizations directly translate to infrastructure-level enhancements.
