Where the bytes come from

Every facility we light up is listed here, with its capacity, its transit mix and the exchanges it peers at. No 'up to' numbers.

Topology

Three tiers, one address

Clients always hit the anycast address. What happens behind it is the interesting part.

  • Edge tier holds the hot set on NVMe, roughly 340 TB per large site
  • Shield tier keeps a full regional copy on spinning disk
  • Origin sees one fetch per region per object, not one per client
