The demand for better, faster user experiences, low tolerance for security breaches of personal data, and surging bandwidth costs are driving the need for more distributed compute architectures. While cloud computing and the emergence of the large cloud hosts has caused a centralization of compute resources, the next wave of compute innovation is happening at “the edge”. Solutions architects are challenged with optimizing compute resources in these increasingly distributed systems and require tooling that gives them full control over configuration and deployment of workloads along the edge continuum.
Section's industry-leading Edge Compute Platform gives engineers the flexibility and control to run any workload, anywhere, underpinned by modern DevOps principles. As a developer-centric framework based on complete transparency, extreme flexibility, and software-defined control, Section helps modern engineers deliver better web applications.
Section's container-based (Docker/Kubernetes) approach to HTTP traffic delivery includes highly available and highly performant edge compute modules with consistent configuration-as-code and diagnostics capabilities, along with the ability to build/bring your own edge containers. Section operates across the HTTP delivery path from origin to distributed network, is hosting provider-agnostic (cloud, on-premise, self-hosted, ...), and has already been proven to change the dynamics of traditional CDN workloads.
