  "description": "AWS CloudFront Functions and Lambda@Edge are two distinct serverless computing features of Amazon Web Services designed to run code at the network edge. They allow developers to customize content delivery, rewrite URLs, and perform authentication globally with minimal latency. While CloudFront Functions is optimized for high-scale, simple scripts, Lambda@Edge supports more complex, computationally intensive tasks.",
