About StackPath
StackPath provides a secure edge platform with a suite of cloud services for developers, startups, and enterprises. Its main offerings include a high-performance Content Delivery Network (CDN) for fast and secure delivery of web content, a robust Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect against DDoS attacks and other vulnerabilities, and Edge Compute services including virtual machines and containers. This allows businesses to run their applications closer to end-users to reduce latency. The platform is designed with an API-first approach, offering extensive programmatic control over its services. StackPath is suitable for various use cases, including gaming, media streaming, SaaS, and e-commerce, where low latency and high security are critical. Following a 2023 acquisition, its CDN and related assets are now part of Akamai.
