Vercel Edge Functions can now be deployed to a specific region.

By default, Edge Functions run in every Vercel region globally. You can now deploy Edge Functions to a specific region, which allows you to place compute closer to your database. This keeps latency low due to the close geographical distance between your Function and your data layer.

Check out the documentation to learn more.
