Edge functions are the latest extension to the serverless ecosystem. They promise low latency by running closer to the user and unlike regular cloud functions have zero cold start. Edge runtimes come in different flavors like Cloudflare Workers, Deno and most recently Bun! New frameworks like Remix, Astro, SvelteKit and Nuxt3 leverage these new edge runtimes using adapters. And established frameworks and platforms like Next, Vercel and Netlify have added edge support. So this is an exciting time for front-end and during this meetup will dive into edge runtimes!

Mark your calendars for september 1st.

**About the speakers**

**Building Serverless Applications with Cloudflare Pages**
**by [Gift Egwuenu](https://www.giftegwuenu.com/)**
With the advent of serverless, we don't have to worry about managing our own servers. Thanks to the introduction of serverless applications, you can now write a function and deploy it to the cloud.
In this talk, we'll build a serverless application using Cloudflare's stack. We’ll use Pages to host our static content, Functions for managing the dynamic part of our app, Workers KV to persist data, and Wrangler to do local development together with Cloudflare Pages offerings like unlimited preview environments, fast builds, and integration with a Git client.

Gift is a Developer Advocate at Cloudflare. She has worked in the web development industry for over 5 years building tools and products that help businesses scale. In her previous role, she worked as a front-end developer. She is now working in developer relations. Gift loves to share her experience in web development, and career-related topics, with the goal of helping people level up their skills in the industry.
