Shane Baldacchino - Edge Specialist Solutions Architect, ANZ, AWS | David Brown - Sr. Product Manager, Cloudfront Service Team, AWS | Raji Sundararajan - Software Development Manager, CloudFront Service Team, AWS
In this episode of AWS TechChat, we take a journey out to Edge Computing and give you an in-depth look into a new product - CloudFront Functions. I interview 2 special guests from our CloudFront service team, David Brown and Raji Sundararajan who give us an update on the major features release.
We start the show by setting down a foundation of Edge Computing, discussing how it changes modern architectures, and talking through some of the shortcomings customers faced with Lambda@Edge before introducing CloudFront Functions.
CloudFront Functions is a feature of Amazon CloudFront, which enables you to run lightweight JavaScript code with low latency at any scale. It can manipulate the requests and responses that flow through Amazon CloudFront, perform basic authentication and authorization, generate HTTP responses at the edge, and more.
Before closing off, I am representing our customer and spend half of the show in a Q&A session with Raji and David to cover topics like patterns, anti-patterns, performance, and the developer experience.

We dive into orchestration, talk about when to use containers and serverless, and close off the show with containers development tools and show you how you would deploy and manage them in AWS.
