Server-First Architecture with Edge Runtimes: When to Move Computation from Client to Edge

Edge computing platforms like Cloudflare Workers and Vercel Edge Functions reduce latency by running code within milliseconds of users globally. This guide covers practical migration patterns, complete code transformations showing Node.js API failures, real production failure cases with PropertyHub's 200ms latency increase, detailed cost comparisons ($0.50-$2.28 per 1M requests), and hybrid recovery strategies.
