So,
@vercel
reverted all edge rendering back to Node.js 😬
Wanted to correct the record here as it's something I've advocated for in the past, and share what I've learned since then.
Also, the "edge" naming has been a bit confusing, so let's clear that up here as well.

Next.js is a free open-source framework. The creators, Vercel, fund its development.
How is this possible? Why would they give it away for free? Let's talk about funding open-source software (OSS).

We're working on improvements to

Import the font in `_app`, add "Inter" to your `font-family`, and you're done. This only loads the specified variants and automatically subsets.

How to get the best image performance (Updated 2021)
1️⃣ Use `width` and `height` to prevent layout shift
2️⃣ Lazy-load images as they enter the viewport
3️⃣ Use modern image formats (WebP, AVIF)
4️⃣ Serve correctly sized images using `srcset`
5️⃣ Provide blur-up placeholders
