What is
Edge Rendering?

Running render or API logic in CDN-edge locations close to the user, not in a single origin server.

Definition

Edge rendering moves compute out of a centralized server into hundreds of CDN edge locations. The user's request never travels far. Latency drops dramatically. Trade-offs: edge runtimes have constrained APIs (no full Node.js), so not all code runs at the edge.

Example

A personalization layer for a marketing site runs at the edge — every user gets a fast, locally-rendered variant.

How Vedwix uses Edge Rendering in client work
