Epycbyte Edge Config

Overview

Epycbyte Edge Config is a global data store that enables experimentation with feature flags, A/B testing, critical redirects, and more.

Features

• Available on all plans
• Enables experimentation with feature flags, A/B testing, critical redirects, and IP blocking
• Reads data at the edge without querying an external database or hitting upstream servers
• Optimizations can be enabled for other runtimes upon request

Use Cases

• Feature flags and A/B testing: Experiment with A/B testing by storing feature flags in your Edge Config.
• Critical redirects: When you need to redirect a URL urgently, Edge Configs offer a fast solution that doesn't require you to redeploy your website.
• Malicious IP and User Agent blocking: Store a set of malicious IPs in your Edge Config, then block them upon detection without invoking upstream servers

Getting Started

You can create and manage your Edge Config from either Epycbyte REST API or Dashboard.
