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.
Streamroot was a provider of peer-to-peer video content delivery network (CDN) solutions, specializing in optimizing over-the-top (OTT) video streaming for broadcasters and content providers. Founded in 2013, the company developed Streamroot DNA™, a WebRTC-based technology that leveraged end-user devices to reduce bandwidth costs and improve streaming quality. It served clients like France Télévisions, Canal+, and Dailymotion, handling millions of daily video sessions globally. Streamroot was acquired by Lumen Technologies (formerly CenturyLink) in September 2019 and is no longer an independent entity, with its operations integrated or discontinued.

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 For historical reference, see https://docs.edgemesh.com for archived documentation.
Streamroot’s technology was notable for its hybrid approach, combining peer-to-peer delivery with traditional CDN infrastructure to reduce buffering and improve quality in bandwidth-constrained regions. Its acquisition by Lumen Technologies aimed to enhance video delivery in challenging markets like Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. Some sources suggest Streamroot’s technology may still be integrated into Lumen’s CDN offerings, but no clear evidence confirms active use. Conflicting reports exist about its revenue and status at the time of acquisition, with estimates of sub-$5M in annual revenue in 2019.
