\r\n This is a blog series about building an A/B test with EdgeWorkers and EdgeKV.  Read part one here .

\r\n \r\n Editing source code just to change data values (e.g., URL updates) introduces the risk of inadvertent changes and bugs

\r\n Commingling data and code in a single entity may limit future scalability 

\r\n \r\n Now that we've written the framework of our code, let's layer in EdgeKV (EKV), our distributed key-value store database.…
