How does that even work? Lambda seems like a challenge even with the entirety of the datacenter resources to work with. Running it in constrained edge environments with a VM per function seems like black magic.



The naming is a bit of a misnomer, today L@E doesn't run at the edge (in our PoPs) but when you deploy it copies to every region and then CloudFront routes you to the lowest latency region for your request.


So is L@E multi region then? Like if I have two concurrent requests across the globe are they serviced from two locations?


Yes, but you deploy it from one region.
