Now Available: EdgeKV Distributed Key-Value Store

We’re excited to announce the availability of EdgeKV, a distributed key-value store database that enables EdgeWorkers to leverage data stored at the edge when deploying custom code across our serverless computing platform. This solution is fully distributed, meaning it runs in 1,400+ networks and in 135 countries. Continue reading Now Available: EdgeKV Distributed Key-Value Store

A/B Testing, Now with EdgeKV

Now that we’ve written the framework of our code, let’s layer in EdgeKV (EKV), our distributed key-value store database. Before getting started, we recommend downloading and installing the EdgeKV command-line interface (CLI) to use for these examples. You may also want to review the documentation of the EKV data model to better understand it. The uppermost element of our data model is the namespace, which contains groups; groups contain individual name-value pairs called items. Continue reading A/B Testing, Now with EdgeKV

Building an A/B Test with EdgeWorkers and EdgeKV

When paired with our new EdgeKV distributed key-value database, the Akamai EdgeWorkers serverless platform gives you the ability to do powerful things at the CDN level. One common application using these two products is an A/B test: showing users one of two variants of the same webpage to determine which page performs better. Let’s build that together.
