A 3,000-acre alpine lake at 5,138 feet in the Oregon Cascades, flanked by Mount Thielsen and Mount Bailey, stocked with 300,000 rainbow trout annually.

Edge functions run your code in data centers close to users, eliminating the latency of a centralized origin server. Here's what they're good for and how to build with them.

PWAs have matured significantly. Between Workbox's caching strategies, the Background Sync API, and the Web App Manifest improvements, building offline-capable apps is more practical than ever.
