Currently I use netlify's redirects in production and maintain equivalent nginx configs for dev parity and a fallback just in case.
I'm super happy with the netlify build/edge products.
I instantly thought of the incomplete/error prone Zeit Now dev that was introduced a few weeks ago. If this(Netlify Dev) can replicate the entire system stably I might move on to Netlify Edge. Replicating and testing is a pretty big deal :-) Offtopic, but can anyone explain the differences between Zeit Now v2 and Netlify Edge?
Yes, I have the feeling the whole "replicate locally" goes in the wrong direction. You're just lying to yourself when saying local is the same as cloud...

Stuff like Lambda@Edge, Cloudflare Workers etc all have very strictly defined APIs that are executed on V8 (modified for security, but not enough to be incompatible). If you run a pure function on your local machine you can be pretty sure it’ll run on the edge.
We’ve already done this quite well with Docker - the image you run locally is cryptographically the same binary bytes you’ll run on production. It’s not that surprising to see it for edge functions.

As far as I'm aware, zeit now can run server side code whereas netlify edge can only do at most some serverless functions, and is otherwise focused entirely on serving the front end
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why? They're just computers, what makes your local machine that different from a Netlify server?
What?
I have no idea what this does. Site generator? functions? edge logic? What?

Essentially, it takes your code (from a repository), runs a build command (if configured), and serves the result over HTTP on some domain.
