# Azion Discussions

Azion Platform is a web application platform that helps development, infrastructure, and security teams build, secure, and scale websites, APIs, and AI applications on a fully managed, globally distributed infrastructure. It combines serverless computing, content delivery network (CDN) caching, web application and API protection (WAAP), distributed data storage, and observability in a single platform. Teams manage everything through one console, API, CLI, and Terraform provider. Azion runs on 100+ data centers worldwide and works with origins in public clouds, private data centers, or hybrid environments. Common use cases include accelerating websites and APIs, running e-commerce storefronts, protecting login and checkout flows, keeping applications online when an origin fails, and running AI inference. The platform is used by developers on the free Hobby plan and by enterprises in retail, financial services, media, and technology. Customers include Prime Video, Neon, Global Fashion Group, and Radware. Build applications and AI workloads: - Functions: serverless JavaScript functions with Node.js and Web API compatibility, running on Azion’s distributed infrastructure. - Cache and Application Accelerator: CDN caching for static and dynamic content. It covers personalized pages and API responses, with Tiered Cache, stale cache during origin failures, and Real-Time Purge. - Image Processor: resizes, crops, compresses, and converts images by URL from a single original, with automatic WebP delivery. - AI Inference: runs open-source models, such as LLMs and embedding models, without provisioning GPU infrastructure. - Load Balancer: distributes requests across origins in any cloud or data center, with primary and backup failover. Store application data close to users: - SQL Database: distributed SQL database with vector search. - KV Store: key-value storage for sessions, configuration, and feature flags. - Object Storage: storage for files and static assets, served by the same application that delivers them. Secure applications, APIs, and DNS: - Web Application Firewall (WAF): inspects requests for SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), remote file inclusion, and other attacks. Sensitivity is set per threat family, and a logging mode lets teams test rules before blocking. - Bot Manager: scores each request to detect and stop credential stuffing, account takeover, card testing, and scraping, with seven configurable mitigation actions. - DDoS Protection: always-on mitigation included with Firewall. - Network Shield: allows or blocks traffic by IP address, ASN, or country, using reusable network lists. - Edge DNS: authoritative DNS with DNSSEC and DDoS protection. Observe traffic, performance, and security: - Real-Time Metrics: dashboards for traffic, cache, performance, and security, with 24-month retention and no sampling. - Real-Time Events: searchable request and security event logs, plus Activity History for account changes. - Data Stream: sends logs to SIEM, data warehouse, and storage tools such as Splunk. Azion uses usage-based pricing with published rates. It offers three plans: Hobby (free), Pro, and Enterprise.
