Both Lambda@Edge and Cloudflare Workers allow you to run code at the edge. Lambda@Edge is integrated with AWS, while Cloudflare Workers offer a more flexible JavaScript runtime. Performance can vary depending on the complexity of the code and the specific use case. Cloudflare Workers often have a faster cold start time due to their V8 engine.
