TIL! This is such a time-saver when you really need it during those edge cases! No more of those “promise async js” google searches!
#3 🎨
Small detail about the new Planetscale homepage, there's no pop in for their Sign in / Dashboard link, it's included in first HTML payload that's sent to the client

TL;DR: Right use of edge functions + JWTs to achieve a beautiful performance gain! Do check out PlanetScale’s new website, if you haven’t! 👌
