Overview
EdgeMesh was a CDN provider focused on e-commerce, offering real-user metrics (RUM) and in-browser caching to optimize website performance. It provided tools for performance telemetry and smart routing, primarily serving businesses needing fast content delivery. The service is now defunct, with no active operations or official website available as of August 2025.
OnApp CDN is a federated content delivery network designed for hosting providers, utilizing spare capacity in OnApp Clouds to deliver content globally. It supports HTTP push, pull, and streaming/live streaming, catering to hosting providers and enterprises managing web content delivery. The platform integrates with OnApp Cloud, enabling users to leverage a network of edge servers for improved performance. It is primarily used by service providers and enterprises needing scalable CDN solutions. The service is operational as of August 16, 2025, with recent updates enhancing its reporting capabilities.
Network & Architecture
—
OnApp CDN operates a global network of Points of Presence (PoPs) by leveraging spare capacity from OnApp Clouds, though specific PoP counts are not publicly detailed. It uses a federated model, combining edge servers from multiple cloud hosts to ensure broad geographic coverage. The platform supports content delivery across regions including North America, EMEA, APAC, and others, with synchronization between CDN and OnApp Cloud occurring every 20 minutes by default. Regional strengths include flexibility for hosting providers, but limitations may arise from reliance on third-party cloud capacity, potentially affecting consistency in less dense regions.

Migration tools or import capabilities are not explicitly documented.
When it fits
—
- Hosting providers needing a federated CDN integrated with OnApp Cloud for scalable content delivery.
- Enterprises requiring video VOD and live streaming with global reach through a network of edge servers.
- Users prioritizing API-driven management and real-time logging for CDN operations.
When it doesn’t
—
- Small businesses or startups seeking pay-as-you-go pricing or free tiers, which OnApp CDN does not offer.
- Organizations needing advanced security features like WAF, DDoS protection, or bot mitigation, which are not documented.
- Users requiring edge compute, image optimization, or specific protocol support like HTTP/3, which are unsupported.
History & Notes
EdgeMesh offered a developer-centric CDN with a focus on real-user metrics and API-driven configuration. Its GitHub repositories for client and server components remain accessible, but no recent activity suggests ongoing development. The lack of an official EOL announcement creates uncertainty, but the absence of an active website or support channels indicates the service is no longer operational. For historical reference, see https://docs.edgemesh.com for archived documentation.
