Edge rendering is becoming the norm

Instead of serving everything from one data centre, apps increasingly run at the edge — physically close to the user, wherever they are.

Closer is faster

Less distance means less latency and a screen that is usable sooner. For a global audience that difference is large, especially on first impression.

Our take

The edge is powerful but not free: not all logic belongs there, and keeping data close takes thought. We use it where it genuinely helps.
