This is a genuine question, why run a database bound application at the edge? Why not just cache HTML on the edge when you can and run the application tradition

This is a genuine question, why run a database bound application at the edge? Why not just cache HTML on the edge when you can and run the application traditionally?
- thegagne 6y agoReasons I would want to: 1. To eliminate a layer of application/server/network management (especially if you have complex infra). 2. To get “free” application high availability. 3. To integrate with other stuff on the edge (auth/identity). 4. To serve as a central query aggregator from multiple sources.
- austinpena 6y agoMakes plenty of sense. Thank you!
