Edge Functions now support regional or global deployment
Vercel Edge Functions can now be deployed to specific regions instead of globally, allowing developers to place compute closer to their data sources and reduce latency. Configure function regions to run server-side code near your database.

Vercel Edge Functions can now be deployed to a specific region.
By default, Edge Functions run in every Vercel globally. At launch, teams could run functions using the Edge Runtime in a specific region, placing compute closer to a database. This keeps latency low due to the close geographical distance between your Function and your data layer.region
