Limelight EdgeFunctions Now In Field Trials
with General Availability Planned for Q2
Now developers can easily deploy their code across Limelight’s
global edge platform with EdgeFunctions, a new distributed
serverless computing capability. After extensive development and
completion of its alpha testing program, Limelight Networks, Inc.
(Nasdaq: LLNW) today announced that EdgeFunctions is in field
trials with several customers with planned general availability in
Q2.
With serverless architecture, developers don’t have to worry
about the underlying infrastructure such as provisioning and
managing servers or runtimes which can be costly and time
consuming. Instead, they’re able to concentrate on writing and
deploying code to create or enhance user application
experiences.
EdgeFunctions allows developers to run their code in Limelight
edge locations, taking advantage of Limelight’s global footprint
and scale. Functions are globally available and run in the same
locations as Limelight’s Content Delivery Network (CDN) -- closest
to where content requests are received -- which ensures the lowest
possible latency for code execution and delivers optimal user
experiences. An API-first approach to serverless computing with
support for Node.js, Python and Go frees developers to focus on
innovation and integration with their content workflows.
EdgeFunctions targets the requirements of Limelight’s content
delivery customers. It’s ideally suited to streaming video and
content delivery use cases such as personalized streaming, access
control, dynamic ad insertion, content protection, A/B testing, and
image manipulation. EdgeFunctions is integrated with Limelight’s
edge services platform, one of the world’s highest-performance
streaming video and object delivery networks.
“Limelight's pivot to supporting the edge cloud with solutions
such as EdgeFunctions will help differentiate the company's
offerings and drive further growth. At IDC, we believe that
Limelight's private CDN network coupled with the move toward
stronger edge presence will help the company capitalize on
increasing demand for live and on-demand video, key drivers of
future CDN traffic growth,” said Ghassan Abdo, IDC Research Vice
President, WW Telecom, Virtualization, Cloud and CDN.
“EdgeFunctions enables our customers to deploy their own
application functions into our network edge locations and run them
on demand,” said Nigel Burmeister, Global Marketing and Product
Vice President at Limelight. “Developers can concentrate on
delivering innovation and business outcomes without worrying about
the underlying infrastructure. EdgeFunctions eliminates costly
delays in latency-sensitive video and CDN workflows and dynamically
allocates resources to scale as demand changes.”
