Start with Applications to build and run globally on Azion
Simplify complex workflows
Run serverless applications with no infrastructure to manage. Reduce operational overhead and simplify how teams ship on Azion.
Global coverage close to your users
Enterprise-grade platform across 100+ locations worldwide. Applications run close to users, reducing latency and improving response times.
Faster delivery with less backend load
Reduce round trips and avoid backend requests. Distribute traffic across the global network to reduce bottlenecks and deliver content faster.
Add serverless logic to your applications
Build with familiar languages and frameworks, and deploy without managing servers or regions.
Azion Runtime
V8-based engine. Zero cold starts. Call Cache, AI, and SQL from any function.
18+ Frameworks
Next.js, Astro, React, Vue, and more. Deploy with presets, not configuration.
JavaScript & WebAssembly
Code in JavaScript or compile Rust and other languages to WebAssembly.
Node.js Compatibility
Use compatible APIs and polyfills to make it easier to run existing applications on Azion.
Architecture that scales with you
Distributed by design
No regions to choose. Deploy to 100+ locations automatically. Your code runs close to users worldwide.
Connected building blocks
Functions call Cache, AI, SQL, and KV directly. No API gateways, no service meshes, no configuration.
Familiar workflows
Write locally. Deploy globally. CLI for commands, Terraform for infrastructure, Git for versioning.
Zero cold starts
V8-based runtime. Your Functions are always warm. Sub-millisecond execution latency.
Observability built-in
Real-time metrics via GraphQL. Logs via Data Stream. Debug with Real-Time Events.
Scale on demand
Handle traffic spikes without pre-provisioning. Auto-scaling is the default, not an upgrade.
Your first Function: from local to global
Write, build, deploy — three commands
TypeScript or JavaScript. Use Next.js, Astro, React, or Vue. Run `azion deploy` and your code ships to 100+ locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I build on Azion?
You can build web applications, APIs, AI-powered experiences, and other modern workloads on Azion’s globally distributed platform. Start with Applications, then extend performance and specialized capabilities with Cache, Application Accelerator, AI Inference, and Image Processor as your architecture evolves.
Do I need to choose regions or manage infrastructure?
No. Your applications are distributed automatically across 100+ locations, so you don’t have to pick regions, provision servers, or manage scaling manually. You focus on the application logic while Azion handles distribution close to your users.
What languages and frameworks can I use?
You can code with JavaScript or use WebAssembly with languages like Rust, C, C++, C#, Go, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Python, Ruby, and more. Azion also supports frameworks like Next.js, Astro, React, Vue, Angular, Nuxt, Svelte, Qwik, Preact, VitePress, Docusaurus, Eleventy, Gatsby, Hexo, Hono, Hugo, Jekyll, VuePress, and more.
How do I deploy an application?
You can create, build, and deploy with the Azion CLI using a simple workflow like `azion init`, `azion build`, and `azion deploy`. This takes your application from local development to a globally distributed deployment without separate CDN or infrastructure setup.
Can I combine Functions, Cache, AI, and image optimization in the same application?
Yes. That’s one of the main advantages of the platform. Functions can work alongside Cache, Application Accelerator, AI Inference, and Image Processor in the same architecture, so you can add logic, improve performance, and deliver optimized assets without stitching together separate vendors or services.
Can Azion help with dynamic and personalized applications, not just static content?
Yes. Azion Build supports dynamic workloads with features like advanced cache keys, POST caching, request hashing, real-time TTL validation, and route-based logic through Rules Engine. This helps accelerate personalized pages, APIs, and session-aware experiences without breaking application behavior.
How do I preview changes before sending them to production?
Azion supports workflows designed for iteration, including preview environments and controlled promotion to production. This lets teams validate changes safely, review behavior before release, and keep deployments traceable from code change to live application.
How do I debug and monitor my application in production?
You can inspect live behavior with Debug Rules, Real-Time Events, GraphQL-powered metrics, Data Stream, and stacktrace visibility. These tools help you understand how requests are processed, trace execution paths, and troubleshoot distributed applications with more confidence.
What about cold starts and scaling?
Azion Runtime is designed for zero cold starts and fast execution, so applications can respond with low latency even under demand. Scaling is built in by default, allowing your application to handle traffic growth and spikes without pre-provisioning infrastructure.
Can I start simple and expand later?
Yes. You can begin with a single Function or application and add more capabilities as your needs grow. The platform is designed as connected building blocks, so you can progressively introduce caching, acceleration, AI features, observability, and media processing without rebuilding your architecture.
