Overview
Azion combines distributed application delivery with programmable services. Cache supports websites, APIs and file delivery; Functions, storage and security are separately scoped products.
Select the modules your application needs and check their included usage and meters.
Network
- Azion lists more than 100 data centers on its distributed platform, 3,300 directly connected autonomous systems and more than 100 Tbps of network throughput.
- Those totals describe the platform rather than reserved capacity for one application. Test routing and performance from the networks your audience uses.

✓ Supported · Partial: limited or separate-product support · ✗ Not supported · Not listed: unconfirmed. Some features need a separate product or plan.
- Cache supports TTL and key controls, tiered caching, stale-while-revalidate and serving stale objects during origin failures. Real-Time Purge is queued and needs propagation time.
- Functions run JavaScript or WebAssembly with resource limits. KV Store is still listed as preview access on request and does not support multi-key transactions.
- Firewall provides request rate limits; WAF, managed rules, Bot Manager and Image Processor are separately scoped modules. WebSocket proxying requires its subscription module.
- Real-Time Metrics and Events provide delivery visibility. Data Stream exports logs in batches, normally at 2,000 records or 60 seconds, whichever comes first; this is not per-request instantaneous delivery.
- Edge Pulse adds browser-based real-user monitoring. The Secure Token integration supports time-limited URLs.
- Deliver prepared live/VOD HTTP streams, or use Live Ingest for RTMP-to-HTTP live delivery. Confirm ingest access and charges separately; this does not imply a built-in DRM service.
Pricing
- Hobby is free; Pro starts at $25 per month under monthly billing. Enterprise terms are custom, with on-demand or commitment options.
- Workloads include 1 TB and 10 million requests per month on Hobby, or 2 TB and 20 million on Pro. Functions, images, firewall and observability have their own allowances.
- Hobby may require an upgrade or be restricted when its limits are exceeded. Pro overages use product-specific on-demand rates; paid add-ons are not included by default.
- Enter a quote in the calculator that includes your delivery rate, request charges and selected modules. A single CDN transfer rate cannot represent the entire platform bill.
Developer tools
- Manage resources with the API, CLI, Go SDK and official Terraform provider. Check supported resource versions when moving an existing configuration.
- Export delivery or WAF logs through Data Stream to connectors such as Datadog, Splunk, Kafka, S3 and BigQuery. Batching and destination charges affect observability costs.
- Marketplace integrations include Secure Token and Upstash rate limiting. These are specific integrations rather than capabilities automatically bundled into every application.
When it fits
- Teams combining CDN caching with programmable application or firewall logic.
- Applications needing origin protection, image processing and delivery logs under one platform, with costs tracked by module.
- Video teams delivering prepared HTTP streams or evaluating a separately configured live-ingest workflow.
Before you choose
- Your budget assumes all modules and unlimited usage are bundled into the monthly fee.
- A production dependency needs KV Store before preview access has been approved.
- Your workflow requires immediate global purge completion or instantaneous exported logs.
