FoundationDB is an open-source distributed NoSQL database released by Apple under the Apache 2.0 license. It is non-relational, so instead of using tables it organizes data as a set of ordered key-values. It can also handle massive volumes of data and is exceptionally well suited for write-intensive workloads. FoundationDB has been designed from the ground…
This is part one of a blog series called A Peek Over the Edge with StackPath that’s about the history of StackPath, where StackPath is headed, and the edge-based infrastructure and services StackPath is building. Last year was a big year for StackPath. Following the release of serverless scripting at the Edge, we released edge…
Businesses use data analytics to extract meaningful, decision-making information for their day-to-day operations. With analytics we can discover hidden relations, find unexpected patterns, learn about customer behavior, understand the past, and predict the future. In this tutorial, we’ll learn about ClickHouse, a distributed column-based database for real-time analytics. We will explore how it works and…
With almost $400M in total funding to date, we’re accelerating the growth of our edge infrastructure and edge computing technology. And we’re not doing it alone. While Abry Partners was our first/Series A funder in 2016, we’re excited to share that Juniper Networks and Cox Communications are also believers and investors in StackPath. Why are…
At StackPath we don’t believe there is a versus when it comes to the cloud and edge. We believe that edge computing augments cloud computing. For instance, with IoT use cases, edge computing would perform just-in-time processing and decision making while cloud computing would store large amounts of data and perform big data analysis. In…
EdgeRules is a powerful tool that lets you customize the behavior of StackPath’s CDN at different phases of the CDN request. You can add basic and complex functions that affect the site’s caching behavior, configure headers, perform redirects, and much more. EdgeRules was one of our earliest releases alongside our CDN and we recently spent…
Reliable video streaming is becoming more important but is still quite demanding in terms of administration and resources, especially if you’re serving a global viewer base. In this article, we’ll show you how to use StackPath’s CDN, Edge Compute, and Object Storage with Unified Streaming’s Unified Origin product to deploy a globally distributed video streaming…
Apple and Dell are the newest kids on the block of corporations and startups in the edge infrastructure market to enable faster content delivery and low-latency cloud compute. And, as the edge infrastructure market accelerates, so too are open source projects that make edge infrastructure more manageable. In this eighth issue of High Performance Infrastructure,…
If you’re one of the 8,000 developers attending DeveloperWeek 2020 in Oakland and interested in building high performance, distributed systems with edge computing and serverless technology, this post is for you. As a provider of edge compute products including edge containers, edge VMs, and edge serverless, we thought it would be useful to round up…
Back in 2019, we migrated our developer documentation at developer.stackpath.com to a new platform. Our documentation site worked well enough, and we had just added a new Edge Computing API service to it. But with object storage and other products on the horizon, we were concerned about how to fit all these cool new products…
