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.
StackServices, previously known as StackPath, was a content delivery network (CDN) provider that offered edge computing and content delivery services, targeting businesses needing low-latency solutions. It operated a global network of points of presence (PoPs) and provided features like instant cache purging, real-time logs, and an API-first approach. The company served industries such as gaming, media, and e-commerce. StackServices ceased operations in November 2023, following a strategic shift to focus on cloud computing, leading to the shutdown of its CDN services.

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 For historical reference, see https://docs.edgemesh.com for archived documentation.
StackServices, under its former brand StackPath, was known for its global CDN footprint and developer-friendly features like instant cache purging and real-time analytics. The decision to discontinue CDN services was part of a broader pivot to edge cloud computing, announced after unsuccessful attempts to sell the business over 18 months. Some customers reported service reliability issues prior to the shutdown, which may have influenced the decision to liquidate assets. No revival of the CDN service has been reported, and the focus has fully shifted to other computing services.
