Eh, I've always defined "edge" as the closest piece of compute infra to your client. Could be a VM, a load balancer, an API gateway, a service worker, whatever. Arguing it's part of your CDN is just letting Cloudflare's marketing department coopt the term.



The closest piece is the client router. Then a ton of switches on the way. I get in gist what is meant here, but it's really hard to define so simply.
