Azure Front Door edge actions: programmable compute for a secure, resilient, AI-ready edge

The need for secure edge programmability As modern web applications increasingly move decision-making closer to users, programmable compute at the edge is becoming a foundational capability for delivering low-latency, personalized, and intelligent experiences. Azure Front Door edge actions introduces lightweight customer-defined logic that executes close to users at Microsoft’s global edge ( https://aka.ms/edgeactionsblog ). The engineering challenge extends well beyond moving code closer to the request path.
