OP works for Fastly, they're pushing a lot of "demos" like this in the hopes that one of them goes viral because nobody is using their serverless platform. Don't waste your time adding engagement to it, all they want is a few threads mentioning Fastly that don't mention the June 8th incident from 2021.

It's a proof-of-concept for a potential startup idea, not endorsed by my employer. I simply picked tech in arms reach.

Maybe in 2028 this could be a real thing, regardless of where it is running. An edge cloud does seem ideal for national live events though.

OK, you almost had me believing you but "edge cloud" is 100% Fastly marketing speech. Any time I see somebody mention using Fastly, they turn out to be a Fastly employee. You've posted this demo three times already, give it a rest.
