Descriptions


Fastly Edge Compute


Fastly, traditionally a CDN, was one of the first CDNs that openly and actively promoted it’s edge worker technology.

Fastly has been open and quick when it comes to adding features and functionality to their Serverless product. The platform is runs on WASM logic (with JIT compilation). All in all, one could expect very fast responses when it comes to running your application on Fastly.

Fastly has a unique online fiddler tool to experiment and try different Edge features and functionality without even having to register, live log tailing and individual end-user request trailing. A notable customer of Fastly’s Edge Compute platform is LoveHolidays.


Azion Edge Functions


Azion has been around for over a decade.

Traditionally a cloud hosting provider, Azion has increased their offerings at a steady rate thoughout their years of existance.

their serverless platform is in it’s infancy days at the time of writing (early 2021), with 2 supported languages and just a limited set of accessible runtime variables.

The documentation isn’t comprehensive as one would hope.

Anyone with local compute requirements in the LATAM space would incriminate themselves not considering Azion as their supplier.
