> I think edge computing and CDNs might be what is making this all more interesting

You know what's old-fashioned way of doing this? Buy multiple VPS around the world and deploy website files using a script.



Since this seems like a fairly separate concern, and it is a fair bit of maintenance, that is nice to outsource to the cloud.

Let the experts deal with adding locations, location detection, DNS, redundancy and so on, for a very small price, relatively speaking.

I am not saying you need Astro: You can make the files yourself, then use a service like Netlify to do the CDN-ing for you.
