Recently, Netlify announced Edge Functions where you can run your code at edge locations on Deno runtime with globally low latency. In this post, we will build a simple app which runs Netlify Edge functions and accesses Upstash Redis as a data store. Upstash Redis is a perfect match for Netlify Edge Functions because:

• Upstash Redis has Global database type where the Redis replicas are distributed all over the world. So your edge function will access to the closest region with low latency.
• Upstash Redis has a built-in REST API and SDK which is free from any connection issues common in serverless runtimes.
• Upstash Redis has a JS SDK which is built and tested with Deno runtime

Yesterday, Netlify announced a new feature called Netlify Graph. My colleague recently highlighted similar missing piece in the picture and Netlify made a good step towards a solution.

Basically Netlify Graph helps developers building GraphQL API calls for their web apps. After preparing GraphQL requests in Netlify Dashboard then you can inject the client code to your project with a single click.

SvelteKit is the upcoming full-stack application framework for Svelte, the UI framework that builds your app at compile time to produce smaller, faster JavaScript. While SvelteKit allows you to write server-side logic using endpoints, it's up to you how you want to persist your application's data.
