Can WASM on the edge solve the Dynamic Logic problem for static sites?
I’m looking into using WebAssembly (WASM) at the edge to handle heavy computations that usually require a full backend, like image processing or complex data filtering. The idea is to keep the site static but offload the heavy lifting to edge nodes. My worry is the cold-start latency and whether the overhead of shipping WASM binaries to the edge actually saves any time compared to just using a client-side library. Has anyone successfully moved high-compute tasks to the edge without killing their TTFB?
