How do Edge WebSockets (Cloudflare/AWS) improve performance?
Updated May 6, 2026
Short answer
Edge WebSockets reduce latency by terminating connections closer to users at edge locations.
Deep explanation
Edge platforms like Cloudflare or AWS API Gateway WebSocket APIs run connection endpoints globally. This reduces round-trip time and offloads backend servers. Events are routed to origin systems via internal networks or queues.
