Web App CDN Onboarding
Layer0 software powers best-in-class headless websites across multiple industries. Now that same Layer0 software is available as your web CDN for any backend platform or front-end framework. And it’s all delivered from the edge of Limelight’s massive global network. Any website can now accelerate both builder velocity and website performance. Fast onboarding flow allows you to create and deploy your site in minutes.
EdgeJS Fiddle
EdgeJS is a JavaScript-based, performant, declarative, and framework-agnostic language for edge logic. It lets developers write edge logic in familiar JavaScript that the Layer0 platform compiles into native code, proving you the best of both worlds. Embed edge logic directly in your application code will run with lower latency and faster performance. Want to try it? The EdgeJS Fiddle page simulates the Layer0 (Edgio) Edge Network, allowing you to try EdgeJS in your browser easily.
Astro Framework Support
Astro is a hot new tool for building incredibly lean static websites with your favorite framework, including React, Svelte, and Vue. By default, Astro ships 0 JavaScript to the browser, only loading fully interactive components as needed. While Layer0 has always been framework agnostic, we’ve recently added automatic configuration support for Astro to get started quickly with less config.

Layer has developed a solution that makes edge caching easy for GraphQL at a granular level, based on cookies, authentication, URL patterns, and HTTP headers.
