Just in general I don’t think I understand how to run a nextjs function on the edge with netlify for example I thought that if I did something like this export const runtime = "edge" export async function GET(request: Request, response: Response) { const session = await withAuth() console.log(…

[image] cal3b: export const runtime = "edge" This is a Vercel specific feature. That does nothing on Netlify.

Thanks for the reply, well that explains a lot. So how do you get a nextjs route to run on the edge in netlify?

You don’t. All API routes run on Lambda. Only Middleware runs on Edge Functions. If you want, you can deploy separate Netlify Edge Functions to handle your API.

This is what I see in the docs: Next.js on Netlify | Netlify Docs [image] Where are you seeing that? EDIT: Oh, on OpenNext docs… EDIT 2: PR Submitted: chore: make docs clearer about Netlify Functions vs Edge Functions provisioning by hrishikesh-k · Pull Request #115 · opennextjs/docs

How do you set a an api route to run on the edge and also how do I verify that it actually is?
