Okay, then, how does edge computing help Web development? In my opinion, it can make it better, faster, and cheaper with solutions that help and support the Javascript development community. Solutions such as Cloudflare Workers (or Cloudflare Page Functions) are very confortable for Web developers as they offer the same native Javascript APIs that developers are used to work with in the browser. It's a very natural ecosystem for them.
These use cases can be game-changing especially for Javascript developers building Web applications. Solutions like Cloudflare Workers are based on Google's V8 engine allowing response times for client requests under 50ms (i.e., full round-trip, not just internal execution time). Then, as described above, the main logic for the server-side components would run entirely on the cloud region, with a preference for serverless components. But who knows, maybe edge computing evolves to the point where we can run larger pieces of business logic closer to the user location.
It appears to me that making architectural decisions for Web development is more complicated than ever due to the emergence of frameworks that bake in client/server tradeoffs. Yes, I am thinking of Next.js or Remix, which offer different rendering options for different use cases.
