Gcore FastEdge

Gcore FastEdge works as a serverless platform designed to address the requirements of modern app development, and take over the server and network operation. Harnessing the existing CDN infrastructure allows you to automatically load-balance and route user requests to the nearest of 180 edge locations, ensuring low network latency and improving application speed.

Gcore is headquartered in Luxembourg and employs 600+ people. The company intensively invests in hardware and network growth, making it a future-proof asset for tomorrow’s apps and emerging workloads.

Focus

The core of the product is WebAssembly runtime, which serves as a code execution environment. With a cold start time of dozens of microseconds, it launches up to 100 times faster than conventional container-based serverless solutions. Combined with the low-latency network capabilities, it makes FastEdge a great choice for building swift applications relying on dynamic content and high personalization.
