Edge Computing
Edge Computing moves data processing from the central data center to the edge of the network — closer to the end user. For web applications, this means: code runs on servers in over 100 global locations instead of a single region. Latency drops below 50 milliseconds worldwide, enabling real-time personalization and lightning-fast interactions.
Why does this matter?
Edge Computing is especially relevant for businesses with international customers or latency-sensitive applications. Instead of a user in Tokyo waiting for responses from Frankfurt, their request is processed at the nearest edge location. For e-commerce, this means: faster pages, better conversion rates, and a user experience like a local application.
How IJONIS uses this
We use Vercel Edge Functions and Cloudflare Workers for edge processing: A/B tests, geo-personalization, bot detection, and API proxying — all directly at the edge without round-trips to the origin server. For AI applications, we leverage edge inference to run models locally and keep sensitive data within the respective legal jurisdiction.
