Edge vs Traditional Serverless: What to Consider
General architectural trade-offs worth weighing when comparing a colocated MCP deployment against a traditional serverless function — not a benchmark against any specific vendor.
Cold starts
Serverless functions typically pay a cold-start penalty on infrequent invocations. A persistently running MCP server avoids this at the cost of always-on compute.
Data egress
Hosting compute close to your primary data store reduces cross-region data transfer compared to a function running in a different region from your database.
Predictable cost
A fixed-capacity server has a predictable monthly cost; per-invocation serverless pricing can be cheaper at low volume and more expensive at sustained high volume.
Operational overhead
Serverless platforms handle scaling and patching for you; a self-managed server shifts that responsibility to your team in exchange for more control.
The right choice depends on your traffic pattern, latency requirements, and operational capacity — always benchmark your own workload rather than relying on generic comparisons.
