Cool! There's obviously some competition coming from the various CDNs and cloud providers, but it's an interesting space and I wish you guys the best. I haven't really wrapped my head around the use cases yet (almost need a distributed edge database before it really ramps up the value) but I'll be playing with this for sure.
- mrkurt 9y agoWe're still discovering the use cases ourselves! We totally agree about an edge db, though. Right now it's _best_ suited for building proxy-like applications. Aggregating APIs, speeding up existing apps without touching them, user aware caching, etc. But we're getting constant pressure to expand the scope of what they do, too, which is pretty exciting.
- napoleond 9y agoThinking about this some more: it would be very straightforward to implement a leveldown API on top of fly.cache. That, paired with something like PouchDB, would give you an edge database. You could have one big centralized CouchDB server with a bunch of PouchDB clients at the edges. Hmmm...
