Location: ORM > v6 > Prisma Client > Deployment > Edge functions

If your application is deployed via an "Edge Function" offering or is deployed from a [serverless](/orm/v6/prisma-client/deployment/serverless) offering and has a non-standard runtime, it is a *edge-deployed* app. Common examples for such offerings include [Cloudflare Workers or Pages](/orm/v6/prisma-client/deployment/edge/deploy-to-cloudflare), [Vercel Edge Functions or Edge Middleware](/orm/v6/prisma-client/deployment/edge/deploy-to-vercel), and [Deno Deploy](/orm/v6/prisma-client/deployment/edge/deploy-to-deno-deploy).

> [!NOTE]
> Use Prisma ORM without Rust binaries
> 
> If Prisma ORM's Rust engine binaries cause large bundle sizes, slow builds, or deployment issues (for example, in serverless or edge environments), you can use it without them using this configuration of your `generator` block:
> 
> ```prisma
> generator client {
>   provider   = "prisma-client-js" // or "prisma-client"
>   engineType = "client"
> }
> ```
> 
> Prisma ORM without Rust binaries has been [Generally Available](/orm/v6/more/releases#generally-available-ga) since [v6.16.0](https://pris.ly/release/6.16.0).
> 
> Note that you need to use a [driver adapter](/orm/v6/overview/databases/database-drivers#driver-adapters) in this case.
> 
> When using this architecture:
> 
> * No Rust query engine binary is downloaded or shipped.
> * The database connection pool is maintained by the native JS database driver you install (e.g., `@prisma/adapter-pg` for PostgreSQL).
> 
> This setup can simplify deployments in serverless or edge runtimes. Learn more in the [docs here](/orm/v6/prisma-client/setup-and-configuration/no-rust-engine).
> 
> Curious why we moved away from the Rust engine? Take a look at why we transitioned from Rust binary engines to an all-TypeScript approach for a faster, lighter Prisma ORM in this [blog post](https://www.prisma.io/blog/prisma-orm-without-rust-latest-performance-benchmarks).
