# Edge Deployment Best Practices

## 1. Test Locally First

Always test agents locally before deploying to edge.

## 2. Monitor Costs

Edge deployments have their own cost structure. Monitor via the dashboard.

## 3. Use Durable Objects for State

Enable Durable Objects for agents that need persistent state at the edge.

## 4. Set Up Routes

Configure routes to direct traffic to the right agents:

```yaml
edge:
  routes:
    - pattern: "api.example.com/research/*"
      agent: researcher
    - pattern: "api.example.com/analyze/*"
      agent: analyzer
```

## 5. Monitor Latency

Check regional latency in the dashboard to ensure good performance globally.
