It definitely makes Vercel suitable for a broader set of workloads, though!

Part 2 is that you can also use an actual server if your workloads happens to be predictable (or is partly predictable). That gives you better cost efficiency for that part of the workload

We're embracing copy-and-paste with the product rather than increasing abstraction. The tool provides the HTML or React code for building the generated UI. The way you actually use it, is by copy-pasting it into your app. From that moment on your workflow and specially debugging workflow is exactly as before. The tool just writes the first 100 lines of code to get you started with a great UI.
- You can turn this on without changing the code of your site (just need to activate emitting the metadata in the CMS)
- Supports any framework
- We're working on an open content-source mapping standard that makes the underlying tech available to any CMS, e-commerce system, or other content source.
The main point of this feature is that if an employee does find a typo on some article, they can just fix it rather than going to the CMS, finding the actual place where that text is stored, making the change, etc.

This is a good summary. Edge Functions bring another set of trade-offs into the mix:
- Startup-time so fast that if you hit a "cold start" it is still fast enough from a human perception (often <30ms attributable to startup)
- Global by default
- Cheaper on a per invocation
- No limits on concurrent invocations
BUT
- Restricted API set, no node.js API support like Buffers or filesystem access
- Smaller max binary size
- Lower available CPU quota per request
- Lower max RAM usage
- Lower CPU-
