July 11, 2025

Bot Manager 1.2.0: New Fingerprinting Engine

Azion released Bot Manager 1.2.0, featuring a new fingerprinting engine that enhances device identification accuracy.

What’s New

  • Advanced Fingerprinting Engine: The new engine reduces fingerprinting collisions (different devices being assigned the same fingerprint), improving the calibration process for your Bot Manager implementation.

Implementation Notes

If you’re already using Bot Manager, the function code has been automatically updated to version 1.2.0. However, to activate the new fingerprinting engine, you need to update your JSON Args configuration:

{
  "engine_version": 2
}

For complete configuration details, please refer to the Bot Manager documentation.

Edge Functions

Azion Edge functions now supports the cache API, allowing you to control reading and writing from Edge Cache .

Visit the Cache API documentation for more details.

July 2, 2025

Edge Functions

WebSocket Proxy

Azion Edge Functions now supports WebSocket Proxy, allowing your Edge Application to act as a full WebSocket server or client and proxy bidirectional traffic to backend services. This unlocks real-time use cases such as chat, multiplayer games, telemetry dashboards, and AI inference streams—all served directly from the Edge for sub-second latency.

Important: To activate this feature, enable the Websocket Proxy subscription module on the target Edge Application in the Console or via API. Without this package, Cells cannot accept or proxy WebSocket connections.

Features Overview:

  • Server & client modes: Use upgradeWebSocket() for server-side handlers or the standard WebSocket(url) API for outbound connections.
  • Broadcast helpers: Easily fan-out messages to all connected clients with minimal code.
  • Metrics & logs: New events (websocket.connection.accepted, message.sent, message.received) are available in Real-Time Metrics and LogStream.
  • Edge Firewall support: Traffic can be inspected by Edge Firewall rules before upgrade is finalized.

For more details visit the WebSocket API documentation.

Azion Runtime compatibility

To keep your code portable and future-proof, the Azion Runtime now supports an expanded set of web-standard APIs. These enhancements enable native streaming compression, incremental text processing, precise back-pressure control, and sub-millisecond performance measurement—providing you with advanced tools to maximize throughput and observability for every Edge Function request.

  • Compression Streams API: CompressionStream and DecompressionStream Compress or decompress data on the fly (gzip/deflate) with browser-grade streaming primitives—perfect for log pipelines, API responses, or asset transformation.
  • Streaming Encoding API: TextDecoderStream and TextEncoderStream Incrementally decode or encode UTF-8 (and other encodings) while respecting back-pressure. Ideal for Server-Set Events, chunked JSON, and real-time log tails.
  • Streams API enhancement: CountQueuingStrategy Build custom streams with count-based high-water marks, keeping memory usage predictable even under bursty workloads.
  • High-resolution timer:globalThis.performance.now() Access a monotonic, sub-millisecond clock to benchmark cold starts, CPU-bound sections, or end-to-end latency directly inside your function.

These capabilities align Edge Functions with the latest WinterTC specifications, strengthen Node.js compatibility, and give developers richer primitives for building efficient, observable, and standards-compliant applications.
