Edge Computing

Run your code closer to your users with our serverless computing platform, reducing latency and eliminating the need for server management.

Computing at the Edge

Traditional cloud computing runs your code in centralized data centers, forcing users to connect over long distances and resulting in higher latency. Our edge computing platform executes your code in hundreds of locations worldwide, dramatically reducing the distance to your users.

By distributing computation to the network edge, we enable a new class of applications that can respond to users in milliseconds rather than hundreds of milliseconds, regardless of their location.

Our serverless platform eliminates the complexity of server management, auto-scaling, and high availability, allowing you to focus on writing code that delivers value to your users.

Key Edge Computing Features

1 Global Distribution

Deploy your code to hundreds of data centers worldwide with a single command, ensuring low latency for all users.

2 Zero Cold Starts

Unlike traditional serverless platforms, our edge functions have zero cold start time, ensuring consistent performance.

3 Integrated Security

Built-in security features including SSL, authentication, and access controls protect your applications without additional configuration.

4 Seamless Scaling

Automatically scales from zero to millions of requests per second without any configuration or capacity planning.

5 Integrated Storage

Access to key-value storage, object storage, and SQL databases directly from your edge functions without additional latency.

6 Streaming Logs

Real-time logs and metrics provide visibility into your application's performance and behavior across the global network.

                    // Example: A simple API endpoint with database access
export default {
  async fetch(request, env) {
    const url = new URL(request.url);
    const path = url.pathname;
    
    // Handle different routes
    if (path === '/api/users') {
      // Query the database
      const users = await env.DB.prepare(
        'SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 10'
      ).all();
      
      // Return JSON response
      return new Response(JSON.stringify(users), {
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          'Cache-Control': 'max-age=60'
        }
      });
    }
    
    // Serve static content from object storage
    if (path.startsWith('/assets/')) {
      const objectKey = path.replace('/assets/', '');
      const object = await env.BUCKET.get(objectKey);
      
      if (object === null) {
        return new Response('Not Found', { status: 404 });
      }
      
      return new Response(object.body, {
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': object.httpMetadata.contentType,
          'Cache-Control': 'public, max-age=86400'
        }
      });
    }
    
    // Default response
    return new Response('Hello from the edge!');
  }
