Netlify Edge Functions 5x Faster on Firecracker MicroVMs
9 min read
Netlify rebuilt Edge Functions to run on Firecracker MicroVMs inside its own edge network, replacing a hosted execution service. Warm invocations now take 5 to 6ms at median, down from 25 to 40ms, roughly 5x faster. The change adds per-deploy isolation and improves reliability, with no changes to how functions are written or used.
