Where to deploy on the "Edge"?

[Lucasvo1]

Is there documentation how to run EdgeDB on the "Edge" using Vercel functions or Cloudfare workers?

[raddevon]

It isn't possible to run EdgeDB exclusively using serverless functions. You would need a Postgres instance.

Our currently available deployment guides are here: https://www.edgedb.com/docs/guides/deployment/index

@raddevon I think @Lucasvo1 means using the js edgedb client from a cloudflare worker.

[raddevon]

Oh, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying, @haikyuu!

We don't have documentation addressing that yet, but you might be able to glean what you need to get started from geldata/gel-js#337 (also featuring @haikyuu 😆 ).

You'll want to use EdgeDB over HTTP.
