Edge Computing for Web Devs: Building Low-Latency Apps (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181431485)

I remember the exact moment my centralized architecture failed me. It was a massive product launch, traffic surged, and suddenly... crash. My Node.js servers were choked by connection timeouts. I watched helplessly as users across the globe stared at brutal 502 Bad Gateway errors while my database melted down. That night, I realized that optimizing a central server was a losing game. The physics of the internet demanded a new approach: I had to move the compute directly to the user. I spent the next few years mastering edge runtimes, untangling the chaos of distributed state, and discovering exactly what breaks when you abandon traditional servers. Now, I am handing that hard-earned playbook directly to you.

• Zero-Latency WebSockets: Build live collaborative dashboards and multiplayer architectures natively at the perimeter.
• Self-Healing Systems: Master the Circuit Breaker pattern, Active-Active multi-region routing, and graceful cache fallbacks.
• Local Emulation: Learn to confidently simulate and unit-test planetary networks right on your laptop.
• Bulletproof CI/CD: Deploy securely with atomic pointer swaps and execute instant, millisecond global rollbacks.
• Invisible Observability: Ship asynchronous logs and distributed traces without adding a single millisecond of user-facing latency.
• Node-to-Edge Survival Guide: Easily replace legacy, broken Node.js modules with lightning-fast Web Standards.
