Global by Default

Every deployment runs on Cloudflare's edge network — over 300 cities worldwide. No cold starts, no region selection.

Real Results

Edge-deployed applications consistently load in under 200ms globally. That is not because of clever optimization — it is just what happens when your code runs close to every user.
