It's possible I'm missing something, but everything in this blog post seems extremely narrowly applicable.

The author points out that you should just handle redirects in the platform if you can. For hreflang tags, is there a reason besides using a legacy system that you need to inject hreflang tags outside your app/platform?

It seems that "platform" in this instance is referring to some kind of CDN. Some CDNs handle redirects well, but some don't. Cloudflare workers are on the "edge" and this is "edge SEO" (apparently). Most CDNs don't allow the types of modifications present in this blog post.

AAhhh that makes more sense! In that case, edits at the edge do make a lot of sense.
