Descriptions

Section

Section.io is one of those great companies that has forseen the future and made sure it’s established it’s name 10 years from now.

Built by developers for developers (api-first, ci/cd etc etc) and integration with BGP routing will ensure you’ll have a smooth experience running your applications practically next to the end-user’s home.

What is so unique about Section is their ability to visualize your cloud application’s flow in internet terms. This gives users a fantastic feel with their applications' whereabouts and performance.

A partnership with Centurylink will guarantee their sucess as a scaleup.

Azion Edge Functions

Azion has been around for over a decade.

Traditionally a cloud hosting provider, Azion has increased their offerings at a steady rate thoughout their years of existance.

their serverless platform is in it’s infancy days at the time of writing (early 2021), with 2 supported languages and just a limited set of accessible runtime variables.

The documentation isn’t comprehensive as one would hope.

Anyone with local compute requirements in the LATAM space would incriminate themselves not considering Azion as their supplier.
