+# Edge Proxy
+
+The Flagsmith Edge Proxy allows you to run an instance of the Flagsmith Engine close to your servers. If you are running
+Flagsmith within a server-side environment and you want to have very low latency flags, you have two options:
+
+1. Run the Edge Proxy and connect to it from your server-side SDKs
+2. Run your server-side SDKs in [Local Evaluation Mode](https://docs.flagsmith.com/clients/overview#2---local-evaluation).
+
+The main benefit to running the Edge Proxy is that you reduce your polling requests against the Flagsmith API itself.
+
+The main benefit to running server side SDKs in [Local Evaluation Mode](https://docs.flagsmith.com/clients/overview#2---local-evaluation) is that you get the lowest possible latency.
