Talks
We're all living on it. But what exactly is The Edge?
It’s 2022 and we’re all on the edge of our serverless seats. But what is The Edge? What are Edge Functions? And what impact does this new technology have on the Jamstack, the web, and ultimately — people and our planet?

Modern applications all have one thing in common: They need secure data access to provide users.
Purists will turn to some native Cloud infrastructure, spend days reading about how to spin up a server and add all the extras required to run an app. Another technique is to use ready-made DB as a service tool with out-of-the-box integration for data access.
Both approaches are very valid, but we often make sacrifices and let go of specific features with each choice. What if we want to add hosting, how do we automate webhooks, can we migrate to a different infrastructure at a moment's notice?
We must go far away to an entirely different Realm to achieve this. This is where we discuss the Mongo Atlas services with the Realm-Web SDK. Think of a ready-made suite with all you need. Authentication, GraphQL, Cloud Functions, and many more are just among the features we will be demonstrating live.
