Challenge

A popular media platform was struggling with slow page loads for international readers and rising origin-server costs during traffic spikes.

Solution

We migrated static delivery to the edge, rebuilt the API layer on EdgeKit, and introduced aggressive, cache-aware invalidation. Deployments were fully automated with health checks and rollbacks.

This project is representative of our infrastructure work: measure first, move compute and content to the edge, and automate everything so the team can ship with confidence.

Results

  • 60% reduction in median global latency
  • 40% lower monthly hosting cost
  • Zero-downtime deployments
  • 99.99% uptime over the following quarter
