What is EdgeWorkers?

Akamai's EdgeWorkers offers a serverless computing framework that empowers developers to run custom JavaScript code at the network edge, significantly improving user experiences by executing tasks nearer to the users' locations. By doing this, it effectively cuts down on latency, diminishing the reliance on slower calls to origin servers, which not only accelerates performance but also bolsters security by bringing sensitive client-side logic closer to the edge. EdgeWorkers supports a wide range of applications, including A/B testing, geolocation-based content delivery, data protection compliance, dynamic website personalization, traffic management, and experience customization based on the type of device used. Developers are able to craft their JavaScript code and deploy it through various channels such as APIs, command-line interfaces, or user-friendly graphical interfaces, fully leveraging Akamai's powerful infrastructure that automatically adjusts to accommodate increased demand or traffic spikes. Furthermore, the platform integrates smoothly with Akamai's EdgeKV, a distributed key-value store, which enhances the development of data-centric applications by enabling rapid data access. This adaptability ensures that EdgeWorkers is an indispensable asset for contemporary developers focused on building agile and secure web applications. As technology continues to evolve, the importance of such innovative solutions in meeting user demands only grows more pronounced.

What is Akamai Prolexic?

Akamai Prolexic is an enterprise DDoS protection platform for defending networks, applications, and internet-facing infrastructure against high-volume and sophisticated distributed denial-of-service attacks. Organizations can deploy Prolexic as an always-on or on-demand cloud service, an on-premises solution powered by Corero, or a hybrid configuration combining cloud and local protection. The service routes incoming network traffic through its defense infrastructure and applies proactive or customized mitigation controls to identify potentially malicious activity. Attack traffic is filtered before reaching protected systems, while legitimate traffic is delivered to its intended destination to help prevent outages and performance degradation. Prolexic operates 32 global anycast scrubbing centers with more than 20 Tbps of dedicated DDoS defense capacity and is supported by Akamai's network capacity of more than 1 Pbps. Dynamic mitigation controls can scale protection across IPv4 and IPv6 traffic flows, while Prolexic Network Cloud Firewall provides network-wide ACL and firewall rules. Prolexic over Akamai Direct Connect provides another connectivity option, creating a direct and private connection between customer origins and Akamai while supporting large traffic packets through GRE tunnels. Akamai offers a 100% Prolexic platform availability SLA and an industry-leading zero-second mitigation SLA, along with 24/7/365 support and optional managed SOC services. More than 225 frontline SOCC defenders support the service and can work with organizations before, during, and after DDoS incidents. Akamai states that Prolexic's proactive mitigation controls stop more than 98% of attacks immediately and that the platform has protected customers against some of the largest and most sophisticated DDoS attacks recorded on the internet.
