Cache

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

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

Edge logic

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;
}

Who it's for

Anything that ships bytes to humans.

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.

Content creator with a meme problem

Surprise viral spike at 3am

Edge cache absorbed 14 million requests in 30 minutes. Origin VPS never saw above 6% CPU. Bill: $84.

FAQ

Edge questions, edge answers.

How fast is a global purge?
We measure 180ms P95 from API call to last-PoP-cleared. The new content shows up everywhere in the time it takes you to refresh a tab.
Do you offer image optimization?
Yes — automatic resizing, AVIF / WebP encoding, art direction with content-aware focal points, and signed transformations to keep storage clean.
Can I run code at the edge?
We expose V8 isolates (think: Cloudflare Workers shape) with TypeScript bindings to KV, R2-compat object storage and our managed databases. Cold start is around 5ms.
How is this billed?
Free tier covers 100 GB and 1M requests every month. Pro is $0.04/GB egress (tiered down to $0.018/GB after 5 TB) and $0.30 per million requests. No charge for cache fills.
Will it speed up my origin too?
Yes — the shield-origin layer collapses concurrent cache fills into a single request to your origin and absorbs Slashdot-class spikes without you noticing.
What about WAF and bot mitigation?
Layer-7 WAF with OWASP CRS plus our own rule pack, and a bot scoring engine you can chain into challenges. All on the same edge, no separate detour.
