Moving compute & storage of business-critical apps to the “edge”?
Has anyone done this, i.e. migrating an application that used a relational database to the edge (including storage as well)?
If so, what was your experience in terms of performance, robustness, operational ease and reliability?
By "edge" I'm referring to products like Fastly Compute at Edge, Cloudflare Workers/KV/Durable Objects etc.

I use a hybrid approach. My main database and app is still centralized. It doesn't need hyper optimized performance. But it does push certain data to Cloudflare KV that I serve up with Cloudflare Workers. That is data which is read only and needs to be optimized for fast global loads.
