Edge Functions

Run serverless applications at the edge, closer to your users and devices.

Edge Functions

How it works

Code execution and runtime processing

  • Edge Functions Rust-based runtime processes JavaScript and TypeScript code directly at edge locations with zero cold starts.

  • The system automatically handles function instantiation and resource allocation across Azion's distributed infrastructure.

  • Advanced request routing directs traffic to appropriate function instances based on execution rules and geographic proximity.
