Do not build this. A network in hundreds of cities is the product.

You cannot rent points of presence, and the pricing here is below what running equivalent capacity would cost you. This is one of the few subscriptions where doing it yourself is more expensive.

WHEN THE EDGE IS ACTUALLY THE ANSWER
- Static assets, redirects, header rewriting, image resizing, rate limiting, and anything that answers without reading your database. Those genuinely belong close to the reader
- Denial-of-service absorption, which is the half nobody thinks about until a bad afternoon

WHEN IT IS NOT, AND THIS IS THE COMMON CASE
- **If the code reads your database, the edge is not helping.** Your database is in one place. A function in Sydney that queries a database in Frankfurt is slower than a server in Frankfurt doing the same thing, and it costs more. Running at the edge only helps when the answer is at the edge too
- So: one machine near your database, and the network in front of it for the static half. That is the shape almost everything should have

WHAT TO DO INSTEAD OF MIGRATING
- Put a delivery network in front of whatever you run. That is the cheap part and it is where the speed actually is
- Cache headers: hashed assets immutable for a year, HTML short with stale-while-revalidate. Measured, that does more than any platform choice
- A cache key that ignores tracking parameters, or one campaign fragments your cache into thousands of copies of the same file

WATCH THE MODEL, NOT THE PRICE
- Priced per request and per millisecond of processor time, which is cheap until a loop is not
- The storage and database products here are genuinely useful and genuinely lock you in: their query models do not port. Decide early whether you would ever need to leave, and keep an export running

THE ONE-LINE VERSION
Rent the network. Put your code next to your database — the edge only helps when the data is there too.
