Descriptions


Amazon Cloudfront Functions


Amazon Cloudfront Function introduces cloud computing to every CloudFront pop around the globe.

Amazon Cloudfront Functions differs from Amazon’s [email protected] because CloudFront’s servers have been located traditionally at the edges of Amazon’s gigantic global network of servers. This means CloudFront functions will run closer to the end-user than traditional Lambda’s, which usually run within customers' own VPN or behind loadbalancers.

With this change in approach, Amazon hopes to even further play into the serverless space that is to become the future of IaaS or Serverless as a Service.

Given Amazon’s massive reach and the tremendously popular CloudFront product, this will surely be a success going forward. Perhaps even replacing Amazon’s [email protected] in the long term?


Deno Deploy


Deno is a new open source rust-based typescript v8 javascript engine.

Deno recently launched their Deno Deploy product, which is a full fledged edge compute platform completely built for the Deno/javascript/typescript landscape.

Deno offers a nice local worker environment which full support for Worker Environments.

The Deno library size is not that big at the time of writing, but with the underlying tech, this should only be a matter of time.
