A comment on Sandboxing and workload isolation.

Love what the folks at fly.io are doing with edge deployed containers.

Interesting comparison with Cloudflare's isolate approach which they expanded on earlier this week: https://blog.cloudflare.com/mitigating-spectre-and-other-sec...

Seems like there is an edge compute option for any requirement these days!

What's the cutoff for something to be considered "Edge"? It looks like Fly has only about 20 POPs.

The ability to have an auto scaling auto distributive compute mesh, I’d say. Once a company builds that they can add POPs as fast as they can spend (or raise) money.

By that definition, AWS and GCP are both "edges" then. Doesn't sound like a useful definition...
