Developer experience first
The friction you’ve stopped noticing
- 01
The API is a cut-down version of the console.
Edge’s REST API is the one the console and CLI use. If you can click it, you can script it — VMs, CDN, DNS, Storage and Shield.
- 02
A weekend project needs a registrar, WHOIS forms and a day of propagation.
Claim a test.network subdomain for $1 a month. The zone is live in seconds, with full records and SSL through the CDN.
- 03
The bandwidth line on the invoice is bigger than the servers.
Egress is free on every product, at every scale. You pay for what you run, not for people reading it.
- 04
Your coding agent can write the app, but it can’t ship it.
One line of MCP config gives it native Edge tools, with the products, permissions and monthly budget you choose.

Pick a region and an image, drag three sliders, and see the hourly-billed price before you click. Every field maps one-to-one to the API.

Create a 2 vCPU · 4 GB Ubuntu VM in London
Ask in plain English. The agent discovers what it may do, dry-runs anything billable, tells you the cost and only then creates the VM.

How Edge fits
Built around how you already ship
Agent ready
Hand the deploy to your coding agent
npx @edge-network/mcp — and it can deploy your app, manage DNS and watch your infrastructure without you leaving the editor.- Discovery-first: one call tells it what it can do, what exists and what’s left in the budget
- Budget-aware, with soft or hard monthly caps per agent
- Projects group an app’s resources for health checks and clean teardown
- Every response carries a plain-English summary it can relay to you

Case study: Agency
Code+Ink
One developer, every client, one platform
Code+Ink is a consultancy building decoupled React and headless-CMS projects for clients such as Bletchley Park and the Royal Institution. Juggling client infrastructure across providers was eating development time. Consolidating on Edge cut deploy complexity — and zero egress keeps costs predictable when a client’s traffic spikes.
