Life on the Edge

Working with serverless technology can be both exciting and expensive. Exciting in the sense that you do not have to think so much about scaling and accommodating more users. Expensive because as you grow, your requests also grow, and sometimes you might be limited to particular regions. In this talk, we will focus on how building with Cloudflare workers helps you reduce the stress with a better user experience.
