The internet and how people interact with content online has evolved, with event-driven and personalized experiences becoming more common. Content delivery networks (CDNs) are struggling to meet new demands. While edge computing addresses some issues, true personalization and interactivity require data as well. For the next phase of the internet, data must also move to the edge to power personalized, real-time experiences globally. However, distributing and keeping data consistent across all edge locations presents significant technical challenges.

3. The internet evolved
