Section is a developer-centric, container-based Edge Compute Platform that empowers application engineers to run any workload, anywhere.
Evolved from the "black box" frustrations of legacy CDNs, Section is rooted in modern development principles, building the first edge platform to fully integrate with agile development workflows. Supporting Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment principles, DevOps teams can deploy updates using familiar Git commit processes. Section also provides a real-time metrics and logging platform (Graphite, Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash) that gives teams visibility across Dev, Test and Prod environments.
The Section platform utilizes container technology (Docker and Kubernetes at the core), providing unmatched flexibility for developers to customize, deploy and optimize workloads for their unique application architecture. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to what software an engineer should choose for their application edge, how many endpoints, or where that application edge should exist. As more compute continues to take place at the edge, software should be more reflective of an engineer’s application stack: fully-programmable, flexible, and easily scalable. That’s how we built Section.
Section is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado with operations in Sydney, Australia.
