Built for the Edge

2026-03-09

Latency is a product feature. We treat it like one.

The bar

  • Sub-50ms response from anywhere on earth
  • Zero cold starts
  • Per-tenant data isolation at the database boundary
  • Pay-per-request — no idle servers

What that buys you

Speed. Every request hits the closest POP. The dashboard feels native.

Safety. Zero Trust auth on every route. Workspace isolation enforced server-side.

Sanity. One platform for compute, storage, DB, AI, and CDN. No multi-cloud sprawl.

The trade-off

Strict per-request memory + CPU budgets. We offload heavy work to queues and stream large content out of band. Discipline at the edge buys speed everywhere else.
