Latin America. Limelight Networks has expanded its edge capabilities by launching EdgeFunctions, a new serverless computing service that allows developers to leverage the enterprise's global networking power and gives them the flexibility to deploy and execute their own code.
EdgeFunctions provides a customizable environment at the edge of the network to optimize content workflows, make urgent decisions, and personalize user experiences. Providing this environment at the edge of the network offers developers the low latency, on-demand scalability, and high-performance network of Limelight.
EdgeFunctions is ideal for video streaming and content delivery use cases, such as custom streaming, content protection, dynamic ad insertion, A/B testing, and image manipulation. Features are available globally on Limelight's highly distributed network and run closer to where content requests are received, ensuring limelight's lowest possible latency for code execution and optimal user experiences.
EdgeFunctions leverages Limelight's global network to put flexibility and power directly into the hands of developers with support for various programming languages, including Node.js, Python, and Go. Its APIs allow these developers to manage, deploy, and run their functions at the edge of the network and take advantage of Limelight's direct exchange connections with more than 1000 ISPs and leading public cloud providers.
