We've shipped major performance improvements across functions and static sites.

**Function cold starts are now 58% faster** in the Frankfurt (FRA) region with more consistent start times across executions.

**Static sites are now served directly through our edge proxies**, eliminating the need for dedicated runtimes. This means:

- No more cold starts for static sites
- Automatic caching for all static site assets
- Over 99% of requests served locally from 120+ global PoPs

These improvements are now live on Appwrite Cloud. Please don't hesitate to share your experience and feedback with us.
