NEWS StackPath – An edge cloud platform, providing cloud services that are physically closer to end users "StackPath is one such platform of computing infrastructure and services built at the edge of the cloud. So, if you're a developer, now you can build and deploy right at the Internet's front steps. That way, users of your app, website, API, content, or whatever else you're building in the cloud don't bounce around before reaching you, and will have a fast, secure, and seamless experience." Read More Taylor Swift tickets are hard to get. Edge computing could fix that. "But edge computing, or decentralized computing, could change the way businesses offering time-sensitive services build and deploy those apps. By moving a modest amount of computing power closer to end users and connecting it with a super-efficient network, Turco thinks StackPath's services could help level the playing field, especially as the underwhelming rollout of 5G wireless networks really starts to gain traction." Read More Edge computing: how developers can get started "StackPath’s key focus is to ensure that developers have full flexibility around their deployment model at the edge. Instead of offering serverless deployments only (where developers rely on a third-party to manage and assign compute resources to execute their code), StackPath can also support container and virtual machine deployments. This strategy will likely enable them to focus on a broader range of use cases in the future. They highlighted IoT and distributed edge architecture for blockchain use cases, as well as offering specialized computing such as GPUs (graphic processing units) at the edge, as part of their future ambitions."
