What are Edge Functions?
Using JavaScript and TypeScript, Netlify Edge Functions give you the power to modify network requests to localize content, serve relevant ads, authenticate visitors, A/B test content, and much more!
This all happens at the Edge — directly from the worldwide location closest to each user.
To use Edge Functions on Netlify, add JavaScript or TypeScript files to a
/netlify/edge-functions
directory in your project.
