## AI overview

Astro announces day-one support for server-side rendering on Netlify Edge Functions. The article explains how edge rendering can improve response performance, outlines use cases such as CMS-backed sites, authenticated applications, persistent state, and e-commerce backends, and describes migration from Netlify Functions. It also notes compatibility considerations because Netlify Edge Functions run on Deno while Netlify Functions provide a Node.js runtime.
