The web is moving faster—literally. With the rise of globally distributed users, there’s increasing pressure to serve web applications with lightning speed and minimal latency. Enter Edge Functions —a transformative solution that’s reshaping how we build and deploy modern web apps. What Are Edge Functions? Edge Functions are small pieces of serverless code that run at the edge - close to the user -instead of a central server or traditional cloud region. These are typically deployed through CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) like Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge Functions, or Netlify Edge Functions. Unlike traditional serverless functions (which run in centralized cloud data centers), Edge Functions execute on globally distributed nodes - making responses significantly faster for end-users. Key Benefits Ultra-low Latency: Functions execute at locations nearest to the user, reducing round-trip time dramatically. Lightweight & Stateless: Optimized for quick execution and designed to ...

  In the fast-paced world of front-end development, speed and reliability are crucial. Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment/Delivery (CD) are no longer exclusive to backend systems. Front-end developers are increasingly adopting CI/CD pipelines to streamline development, catch bugs early, and ship features faster. But what exactly is CI/CD for front-end, and how do you implement it? What is CI/CD? Continuous Integration (CI): Automatically builds and tests code every time a developer pushes changes to the repository. This ensures early detection of bugs and integration issues. Continuous Deployment/Delivery (CD): Why CI/CD Matters for Front-End Developers Fast Feedback Loop: Instantly see if your changes break something. Consistent Builds: Eliminate “works on my machine” issues. Automated Testing: Run unit and integration tests on each commit. Effortless Deployment: Push to Vercel, Netlify, or S3 with GitHub Actions or GitLab CI. Better Team Collaboration: Me...
