State of the Edge: 2019
summary
Edge moves from theory to deployable tools: HTTP/3 bundles QUIC and TLS 1.3 to cut round trips and enable one‑RTT loads for safe GETs, CDNs run edge code (Cloudflare Workers, Fastly, Lambda@Edge) and image optimization, Brotli hits ~86% client support, BBR and ECDSA certificates shrink CPU/latency costs, and AMP/PWA and web packaging change delivery. Measured goals: aim TTFB <500 ms and meaningful paint <2.4 s. Empirically, Pantheon sees ~80% CDN hit rate, which dramatically reduces origin load and global latency.
