if it’s the latter, will it be in the future?
Hi, That’s a good question. While Lambda@Edge sounds like a good feature, Netlify Lambda Functions does not run on Lambda@Edge. We may consider something along the same lines in the future, but we currently do not have any plans on deploying Functions that way.
@Dennis I would love to put functions on lambda@edge, so if you need more encouragement to consider it, this is it! Please consider it
