"Porting a legacy server-side application to Vercel's Edge Network, utilizing stale-while-revalidate and localized routing for immediate loads."

Vercel Edge Cache Optimization Case Study

Serving users globally with sub-10ms latency requires caching strategies near the user. This case study details the optimization of a legacy application by migrating it to Vercel's Edge Network.

Methodology

We configured Next.js stale-while-revalidate caching headers and deployed custom Edge Middleware on Vercel to route requests to the nearest edge cache node.
