When executing code at the edge, every millisecond counts. While containers revolutionized software deployment, traditional container start times can introduce latency that degrades user experience.

In this session from Cloudflare Immerse Stockholm 2026, Oscar Zaja (Cloudflare) pulls back the curtain on edge container architecture. He goes "under the lid" to explain how modern edge runtimes handle isolation, resource allocation, and execution at scale. Learn why minimizing cold starts is critical for building responsive, real-time global applications and how Cloudflare manages instantaneous deployment across its network.
