🔥 Why Edge Deployer?

Cloud deployment should feel like clicking “Run,” not configuring IAM.
Edge Deployer removes devops friction and replaces it with velocity:

• ✅ Write JS/TS edge functions
• ✅ Preview instantly in-browser
• ✅ Deploy to Cloudflare, AWS, or Vercel — no CLI, no YAML
• ✅ View logs and test endpoints — all in one UI

Perfect for solo devs, hackathon teams, or internal APIs that need to ship now.

🧪 How It Works (Step-by-Step)

# 1. Run locally for dev
git clone https://github.com/mansoor-mamnoon/edge-deployer
cd edge-deployer
npm install
npm run dev

2. Then inside the app:
- 🧠 Paste or write a JavaScript edge handler
- ▶️ Run to preview status (✅ 200 OK, ❌ error, etc.)
- ☁️ Deploy to your selected cloud
- 🔗 Grab the deployed URL
- 🧪 Test it in-app with POST/GET + body
- 📥 Export Pulumi bundle for GitOps or CLI use

📤 Output Example

// Deployed Worker
addEventListener("fetch", event => {
  event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request));
});

async function handleRequest(request) {
  return new Response("Hello from your deployed API!", {
    headers: { "Content-Type": "text/plain" },
  });
}
