At last, an examination of the true nature of 'edge' computing is presented. Despite the appealing promises made by posts from Fly.io and others that depict 'edge' computing as a simple success, the reality can be more complex.

I have recently spent a fair bit of time experimenting with this on Fly for my application (https://www.ssrfproxy.com). It's hard to beat the straightforwardness of deploying in a single region, with the database in close proximity. This approach probably to meets the needs of what 99% of developers require. Aka Heroku.
