Akamai's EdgeWorkers is a serverless computing platform that enables developers to deploy custom JavaScript code at the edge, optimizing user experiences by executing logic closer to end users. This approach reduces latency by eliminating high-latency calls to origin servers, enhancing performance, and improving security by moving exposed client-side logic to the edge. EdgeWorkers supports various use cases, including AB testing, geolocation-based content delivery, data protection, privacy compliance, dynamic website personalization, traffic management, and device-based personalization. Developers can write JavaScript code and deploy it via API, CLI, or GUI, leveraging Akamai's scalable architecture that automatically manages infrastructure during growth or traffic spikes. The platform integrates with Akamai's EdgeKV, a distributed key-value store, enabling data-driven applications with low-latency data access.
