netlify-edge-functions

Netlify Edge Functions run on a globally distributed Deno runtime, executing code at the network edge closest to each user. The skill covers the middleware pattern using context.next(), geolocation access, request/response manipulation, and when to use edge compute over standard serverless functions. Edge functions run in Deno with sub-50ms CPU budgets at global PoPs, so geolocation redirects and auth checks happen before the request ever reaches your origin, unlike a serverless function that runs in a single region.
