The web development platform https://www.netlify.com/ recently added a new product to its workflow for those who work from the network’s edge. Netlify Edge Functions began development in 2019, according to Netlify’s CEO https://www.linkedin.com/in/mathias-biilmann-christensen-a5a3805/. In an interview with The New Stack, he described how looking to the future inspired the vision for the company’s latest product.

A year ago, Netlify’s first version of Edge Functions (named Edge Handlers at the time) received a lukewarm response from test developers.

Making Edge Functions a collaborative effort gave developers the ability to use the JavaScript frameworks they are already familiar with to build and deploy edge functions.
