Bridge CDN: pre-launch phase has began
So I'm working on something exciting and aiming really high — compete with CloudFlare in CDN, DNS, and edge computing niche, crazy right?
I've built my first CDN years ago around 2012, that time "Content Delivery Network" wasn't even a broadly known thing, niche had two large players -- Brightcove and Akamai, their entry price was 25K+ and was beyond what we needed at that time. Tech news outlets were full of DDoS attack articles (it was cheap and allowed putting your competitor's website down with ease), and Chrome browsers were about to block all websites without SSL/HTTPS with scary warning of "not encrypted connection". That were times when Cloudflare got its spin with free for all SSL-certs (thanks to Let's encrypt foundation).
Nowadays we are facing another major shift in who's the primary user of the web, do you still think it's humans? Wrong, AI-agents, crawlers, and bots are dominating in the web since 2025, -- automated traffic you new primary content consumer.
The main Bridge CDN goal is to bridge the gap between web that was build for humans and its new main consumers. With built-in SEO/AEO/GEO tools and services bots will be able to access your website and its pages within milliseconds and understand its context with ease. All new and changed pages will get sent to search engines via IndexNow protocol for the fastest discovery, and your devs won't need to worry about meta-tags ever again -- our backend will add all missing fields, compose JSON-LD, and OG link-preview image on the fly.
Shipped with everything what you'd expect from mature network provider:
- Global scale CDN and caching for static assets
- WebSec: DDoS, WAF, OWASP
- Instant DNS
- Edge computing (workers)
- Analytics and insights for human users and AI agents
- Teamwork
- And of course "one click" migration form Cloudflare
