• EdgeWorkers now supports user-defined variables via the setVariable() request method.
• You can use setVariable to interact with Property Manager or to maintain a state where EdgeWorkers can pass information between callbacks.

This next release of EdgeWorkers uniquely combines the power of Serverless functions and the Akamai Edge; the April release adds powerful features to improve cached delivery and offload, as well as other features to ensure fast and accurate coding from design to production.

We’re excited to announce the expansion of EdgeWorkers to Akamai’s enhanced secure network. You can now run edge functions everywhere on the network. Other notable changes include our new EdgeWorkers Management application and the Command Line Interface (CLI).
