Performance at Every Layer - Why deploy on the Edge?
Traditional cloud infrastructure forces your users to wait while requests travel hundreds or thousands of miles to centralized data centers. Skytells Edge eliminates that bottleneck by running your workloads at the network's perimeter — right where your users are.
- Sub-25ms Global Latency. Every request is served from the nearest edge node, ensuring sub-25ms response times for users anywhere in the world regardless of the complexity of the workload.
- Zero Cold Starts. Unlike traditional serverless platforms that suffer from container spin-up delays, our edge isolates start in under 1 ms — your code is always warm and ready.
- Automatic Failover. Built-in redundancy across every point of presence means traffic is rerouted instantly if a node goes offline. No configuration required — high availability is the default.
- Data Sovereignty. Keep data in-region automatically. Our edge network respects geographic boundaries so you can meet GDPR, HIPAA, and other compliance requirements without extra engineering.
- Elastic Scaling. Scale from zero to millions of concurrent requests without provisioning servers or load balancers. The edge network absorbs traffic spikes transparently.
- Cost Efficient. Pay only for what you use — no idle compute costs. Edge pricing is based on actual requests and compute time, so you only pay when your code runs.
Edge Orchestrates Your Request
Watch how a single request flows through our edge network — routed, computed, and returned in milliseconds
Edge Router
Orchestrating request across the network

Edge Compute Isolate
Lightweight execution runtime
Distributed Data Layer
Globally replicated storage

- Data sovereignty: JP-region, APPI compliant
Security Layer
Threat protection & compliance
- WAF rules evaluated — 0 threats detected, request passed
- DDoS shield active — 10 Tbps mitigation capacity at NRT-1
- mTLS verified, end-to-end encryption confirmed
Edge Response Complete
All layers coordinated in real time
Request Lifecycle:
// DNS → TLS → Compute → Data → Security → Response
Request from Tokyo resolved to NRT-1 via anycast in 3ms. TLS 1.3 with 0-RTT completed in 2ms. Edge isolate executed predict() handler with a 0.3ms cold start, reading cached model config from the local KV replica in 0.8ms.
Inference completed in 6.2ms on the edge node — no round-trip to a central GPU cluster required. WAF, DDoS, and mTLS validated the request in parallel with zero added latency. Response returned to the client in 12ms total.
200 OK — served from NRT-1 (Tokyo) edge node

Edge Network FAQ - Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about deploying on Skytells Edge.
- What is edge computing?
- Edge computing moves computation and data storage closer to the end user. Instead of sending every request to a centralized data center hundreds of miles away, edge computing processes requests at the nearest network node — dramatically reducing latency and improving reliability.
- How is Skytells Edge different from a CDN?
- A CDN caches static content. Skytells Edge runs your actual application code — APIs, authentication, data processing, AI inference — at 50+ locations worldwide. Think of it as a programmable CDN where you control the logic, not just the cache.
- Do I need to manage servers or infrastructure?
- No. Skytells Edge is fully managed. You deploy your code and we handle scaling, failover, networking, TLS, and observability automatically. There are no servers to provision, patch, or maintain.
- What languages and runtimes are supported?
- Skytells Edge supports JavaScript/TypeScript natively with a standards-based Web API runtime. WebAssembly (Wasm) is also supported for running code compiled from Rust, Go, C/C++, and other languages.
- How does pricing work?
- You pay per request and per millisecond of compute time. There are no charges for idle resources or pre-provisioned capacity. This makes edge deployments significantly more cost-effective than always-on cloud servers, especially for variable traffic patterns.
- Can I use Skytells Edge with my existing cloud infrastructure?
- Absolutely. Skytells Edge works alongside your existing cloud setup. Use edge for latency-sensitive workloads while keeping heavy compute or large databases in your preferred cloud provider. Our edge nodes can securely connect to your cloud backends.
