Rules and orchestration
Applications processes incoming requests through configurable business rules, including request rewriting, header manipulation, and cache control. The system executes no-code logic for cookie handling, response modification, and device-based behavior definition at distributed locations. The Advanced Rules Engine evaluates conditions and applies behaviors including cache bypass, origin redirect, and generation of customized responses.
Azion shielded us from sophisticated cyberattacks and empowered us to modernize our infrastructure, reduce costs, and deliver the best shopping experiences to millions of customers.Module integration and application orchestration
Applications serves as a foundation for integrated modules, including Functions, Load Balancer, Image Processor, and Cache. The system provides on-demand module management with comprehensive application controls, including custom error responses and device group adaptation. Enterprise-grade features support IPv6, mandatory TLS enforcement, HMAC authentication, and compliance requirements for production workloads.
Origin management and workload distribution
The platform establishes connections with multiple external services, including web servers, on-premises and cloud services, and AI model providers through flexible addressing. Workload distribution optimizes traffic routing based on origin availability, custom timeouts, and protocol selection, including HTTP/3 with QUIC. Integrated marketplace solutions accelerate development with pre-built security resources, A/B testing, and data processing for rapid application deployment.
