Overview
Ngenix is a Russian provider of CDN and cloud infrastructure services, focusing on web resource acceleration, DDoS protection, and video content delivery. Founded in 2007, it serves businesses primarily in Russia and CIS countries, offering solutions for e-commerce, media, and gaming industries. Its platform emphasizes high availability and security for web and streaming services. Customers include regional enterprises seeking localized CDN solutions with robust video streaming capabilities. Ngenix operates a public status page for real-time service monitoring.
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.
Network & Architecture
Ngenix operates points of presence (PoPs) across Russia, including Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk, and Vladivostok, as well as select locations in Europe (Germany, Belarus, Armenia) and Asia (Kazakhstan). Its network is optimized for the Russian market, with strong regional coverage in the Central, Siberian, and Far East Federal Districts. The architecture supports content caching, load balancing, and DDoS mitigation. Limited global reach may restrict performance for users outside Russia and CIS regions.

History & Notes
—
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.
