Personalized recommendation
Start with edge runtimes (minimize tail latency)
If compute is on the request path and cold-start risk is unacceptable, start with edge-first runtimes and validate state/data-locality patterns early.
How this works: Based on common constraint patterns, we match you to the operating model and products that typically fit. Verify against your specific requirements.
- Recommendation: Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute
Recommended starting points
Based on your constraints, these products typically fit best. Read each decision brief to confirm pricing behavior and limits match your reality.
Recommended
Cloudflare Workers
Edge-first serverless runtime optimized for low-latency request/response compute near users, commonly used for middleware and edge API logic.
Recommended
Fastly Compute
Edge compute runtime designed for performance-sensitive request handling and programmable networking patterns near users.
Why this recommendation
If compute is on the request path and cold-start risk is unacceptable, start with edge-first runtimes and validate state/data-locality patterns early.
