Regional execution for ultra-low latency rendering at the edge
Vercel now supports regional execution of Edge Functions, allowing you to specify which region your functions execute in. This enables running functions closer to data sources to minimize latency waterfalls while maintaining fast cold start times for optimal user experience.
As we work to make a faster Web, increasing speed typically looks like moving more towards the edge—but sometimes requests are served fastest when those computing resources are close to a data source.
Today, we’re introducing to address this. Regional execution of Edge Functions allow you to specify the region your executes in. This capability allows you to run your functions near your data to avoid high-latency waterfalls while taking advantage of the fast cold start times of Edge Functions and ensuring your users have the best experience possible.regional execution of Edge FunctionsEdge Function
