> separation of “Compute” and “Storage”. Yes, I’m explicitly talking about Neon here since it was the first to pioneer the concept Aurora certainly did that earlier, and there were probably other earlier examples also (funny, because author mentioned Aurora upthread). > in edge environments because, for every incoming request, a new runtime is spawned to serve it Said that way, it's hard not to think "CGI-bin on a server nearest the user (because webscale)". Coming soon: "the all new Persistent Edge, a runtime that actually stays up between requests, on a server nearest the user (because webscale) optimizing away startup costs!"
