Is an Edge Platform Cluster Right for You?
If any of these scenarios sound familiar, it’s worth considering an edge platform cluster:
- You manage multiple applications spread across different locations.
- You provide a SaaS solution and need effective multi-tenant traffic management.
- You prefer open-source solutions over proprietary options.
What Is an Edge Platform Cluster?
An edge platform cluster is the central entry point for all external traffic. It’s more than just a gateway — a fully integrated platform that manages traffic, enforces authorization, and protects your applications with security controls like a web application firewall (WAF).
By deploying this cluster across multiple regions, you benefit from improved performance, thanks to anycast IP routing, which directs traffic to the nearest edge. This setup taps into your cloud provider’s optimized network infrastructure, boosting speed and reliability.
Why Edge Platform Clusters Matter
Building an edge platform cluster provides high availability and gives you control over how traffic is routed, protected, and authorized. You create a resilient architecture that scales with your needs by hosting your gateways, WAF, and edge authorization in one place.
Ready to Get Started?
To implement an edge platform cluster, you don’t need to overhaul your entire infrastructure. Start simple with solutions like Envoy Gateway and Coraza WAF. As your needs evolve, integrate advanced tools like OPA or OpenFGA for enhanced authorization management.
