Akamai games on the edge

We worked with the Akamai team to develop an experiential marketing platform to help them connect with their users in new ways. The result was a cohesive and dynamic experience that encouraged exploration, inspired participation and highlighted the benefits of innovating at the Edge. Our strategy focused on infusing energy and a hint of drama into every aspect of the event.

Graphics, lighting, projected content and even a wall of fog worked towards generating excitement from the moment attendees walked in. Once in the space, attendees encountered an unusual circular floor plan. Four zones radiated out from the center, each highlighted a different solution category and featured demo stations, a theater and a hands-on lab. With EdgeWorkers, development teams can create innovative services and manage Akamai as code as part of their digital infrastructure.

With EdgeWorkers, what you can imagine is what you can build. You can re-route traffic, dynamically assemble content, and more — all within your existing toolsets and workflows.

With EdgeWorkers, developers can manage their Akamai platform and deliver new experiences in JavaScript — without learning proprietary languages — while deploying logic across our global serverless compute network.

The result is that your logic and functions are deployed and active at the nearest proximity to your end users. EdgeWorkers helps your organization achieve high performance, customer-focused experiences without creating new challenges to your internal infrastructure or increased traffic at origin. With EdgeWorkers, your development teams can focus on building while letting Akamai take care of the challenges of scaling globally.

EdgeWorkers provides a variety of use cases including creating new microservices, manipulating requests and responses, and managing Akamai-as-code. Click the link below to see some of our use cases in action.

Use Case Demos. But, you can create one yourself using other means. When you use the self-service method to enable Edge IP Binding via Property Manager, all relevant settings are applied by default. If your environment requires unique settings, you can work with your account representative to create a custom configuration. We recommend that you use Property Manager.
