Nope. Edge is just serverless that is closer to your user to reduce the number of network hops. Both are essentially the same when it comes to technical functionality. They run on limited resources and should not be used for intensive workloads.
- dragonwriter 3y agoEdge compute is serverless, but most serverless is not edge.
- shri_krishna 3y agoYou are just getting unnecessarily pedantic here. I was talking about computing resource usage. Both are the same when it comes to resource consumption being limited. It is like saying Oracle/Postgres/MySQL/MSQL. If you say they are different in some X functionality, yeah duh they are different in X functionality. However, they are all SQL databases. Same way, Edge/Serverless is both running on limited compute resources (which is the point of the article and point I was making). Both differing in functionality X (of latency/closeness to your user) has nothing to do with either the article or my answer.
