Good evening everyone 👋

This week we launched Edge CDN, allowing consumers to deliver content across the globe, with nodes (your nodes!) in over 80 countries, helping offset the cost of asset manipulation and delivery. We’ve already moved over a number of clients and are serving hundreds of thousands of requests per hour across all Gateways.

The global cache hit rate stands at 97.1% currently, with over 20,000 items cached across all Gateways. Hosts are on average reducing the size of assets by 91.3%, and have processed over 10,000 asset transformations in the last 24 hours alone.

Here’s a live example of what the cache hit rate looks like:

You can see the uptick in traffic on the back of CDN in the node-level statistics in the explorer as well:

And the traffic we’re seeing is global. Here are some examples of community nodes from around the world...
