Building data-driven APIs at the edge

Edge computing enables you to run your application code as close to the customer as possible, reducing latency and improving the user experience. As your compute moves closer to the edge, what data options deliver the same performance, regardless of where your users are located?

In this session, you learn how to integrate Fauna with edge computing providers to provide a responsive, strongly consistent API. You learn how to build, test, and deploy a basic REST API that includes both authenticated and anonymous routes. Finally, you learn how Fauna delivers low-latency performance to the edge while still integrating seamlessly with your existing, centralized computing resources.
