Create and customize StackPath secure edge services with serverless scripting.
Available with CDN and Edge Delivery stacks.
It's a simple idea. Run computing scripts right at the edge, right where the data and the requests come in. No overhead. No hops. No end to what you might do with it, including use cases like:
Run logic right at the edge for performance improvements your end-users will notice, like improved video streaming, faster game downloads, quicker page loads, and snappier checkouts.
Customize the content that you deliver based on request data, modifying end user experience directly from the edge.
Create a lightweight API entry point, an entire API gateway, or a customized firewall by creating scripts that designate and control specific routes to a delivery site.
EdgeEngine scripts provide computing that is always ready to respond/execute, as opposed to VMs or containers that might have to be spun or warmed up. And although it is “always on” you only pay for how much it’s used.
EdgeEngine leverages the Chrome V8 JavaScript Engine, which compiles JavaScript directly into native machine code during execution, as opposed to byte-code translation or full program compilation. V8 is highly optimized, making it extremely lightweight while exceptionally powerful. You’ll experience shorter development time while also gaining support for modern language and architecture.
Each EdgeEngine script runs in its own, isolated sandbox built on the Chrome V8 JavaScript Engine framework. One script, one sandbox for higher security and reliability.
EdgeEngine scripts are executed in all of our edge PoPs around the world. Scripts are executed in the edge PoP closest to the end user, enhancing end-user experience and decreasing response time for end users worldwide. We also grant you the ability to fine-tune end-user experience by geographic location.
When EdgeEngine scripts are created/added/changed in the customer portal, they are instantly pushed to or updated in every StackPath PoP around the world within 2 seconds.
EdgeEngine is available now within StackPath CDN with StackPath CDN or Edge Delivery subscriptions, giving existing and new StackPath customers the opportunity to rapidly customize their delivery configurations. Coming soon, it will be opened to customers of any StackPath service (and standalone) and support multiple additional languages.
EdgeEngine is just one of our powerful edge computing options.
