Tencent EdgeOne

EdgeOne runs content delivery and protection from the same node network, so cleaned traffic continues toward your origin without a second hop. That matters when an attack and a traffic surge hit at the same time. Tencent reports DDoS mitigation efficiency of 99.995%, with most attacks flagged within three seconds. The practical benefit is fewer moving parts to configure and monitor.

The delivery layer leans on 3,200-plus edge nodes, with the majority concentrated in Asia, alongside 400 Tbps of global bandwidth. For audiences spread across China, Southeast Asia, and Northeast Asia, requests land on a nearby node and return faster. Outside Asia the network still works, but that's where the regional edge is sharpest.

Security runs across layers L3 through L7. DDoS protection scrubs volumetric attacks, the WAF ruleset blocks SQL injection and XSS attempts in real time, and bot management tells real users apart from automated traffic. Rate limiting handles abusive request patterns. Dedicated DDoS scrubbing for high-value targets is reserved for the enterprise tier.

Edge functions let developers run JavaScript directly on edge nodes, with cold starts under half a millisecond, according to Tencent. You can add authentication, rewrite routes, or serve localized content without maintaining a server. A companion KV store keeps small pieces of data close to the user, which removes a round trip to a central database for things like feature flags.

Static files cache easily. Harder to speed up are requests that change per user. Smart acceleration probes network latency in real time and picks faster routes for that traffic, covering protocols like QUIC and HTTP/3. It's billed per VAU, so cost scales with the traffic you actually send through it.

EdgeOne can resize, convert, and cache images at edge nodes, which means you store originals and let the platform handle format and size on delivery. Fewer variants to manage. Lighter pages for viewers. The feature is free for a limited time, according to the pricing page.

APIs carry traffic that can't be cached the way a page or image can. EdgeOne handles API acceleration by routing requests over the same fast network it uses for sites, so calls between users and your backend skip slow public paths. For teams running mobile apps or microservices, that turns an unpredictable response time into a steadier one.

The platform ships with multidimensional analytics plus log delivery for HTTP requests, responses, and security engine events. When something breaks or an attack pattern shifts, you can trace it without exporting data to a separate tool. That visibility saves a late-night debugging session.

Terraform API support lets you define EdgeOne configuration as code and roll it out across environments. Teams already managing cloud resources with IaC can fold delivery and security into the same pipeline instead of clicking through a console for every change.
