Smart cache that serves stale gracefully.
A two-tier cache (PoP + regional shield) cuts origin pressure to a fraction of incoming RPS. Configurable stale-while-revalidate keeps the experience fast even when origin hiccups.
- Tiered cache + shield origin layer
- Stale-while-revalidate and stale-if-error built in
- Per-rule TTLs by URL, header, query string and cookie
Image optimization without the gotchas.
Resize, compress, convert and art-direct your images on the fly. AVIF for the browsers that want it, signed URLs to keep your origin clean, and a focal-point engine for the marketing team.
- AVIF + WebP + JPEG XL with quality auto-tuning
- Content-aware focal points and crop ratios
- Signed transforms — no upload, no folders to manage
V8 isolates with KV, storage and DB bindings.
Run TypeScript at the edge — A/B tests, feature flags, geo-routing, even server-rendered API responses — with bindings to our KV, object storage and managed Postgres.
- TypeScript-first SDK with cold start ~5 ms
- Bindings to KV, object storage, queues and Postgres
- Per-isolate metrics + structured tracing
// route ?ab=v1 · v2 50/50 · server-side export default async function(req, env) { const bucket = (Math.random() < 0.5) ? "v1" : "v2"; const resp = await env.ASSETS.fetch("/index.html"); resp.headers.set("x-bucket", bucket); await env.KV.put(`ab:${req.headers.get("x-uid")}`, bucket); return resp; }

SaaS frontend team
Asset delivery for a global SPA
Static bundle and avatar API behind the CDN; image optimization on the fly turns a 380 KB hero JPEG into a 38 KB AVIF on every device. P95 LCP fell from 2.6s to 1.1s.
Game publisher
Distributing a 60 GB patch to 4M users
Tiered cache, shield origin and a one-time prefetch reduced origin load to 1.2% — players downloaded the patch faster than they could mash through the launcher.
