Overview
Run code near your users on thousands of perches around the world. Your latency will be so low that your users will suspect a trick.
Perch Edge is part of our Cloud & Infrastructure line, and it plays nicely with Incubator and FreeRange Functions, so you can adopt it one perch at a time. Store, serve, and scale from a coop that never needs mucking out.
Teams usually start with the free Chick plan, move to Hen when the flock grows past a handful, and graduate to Rooster once the security team wants audit logs. The upgrade is one click, and nobody needs to molt.
Key features
- Automatic failover to a healthy hen when a node stops laying.
- Encrypted at rest, in transit, and when it is just thinking about leaving.
- Perch Edge scales horizontally by hatching new nodes in under nine seconds.
- Free-range networking: packets roam freely within the VPC (Very Pleasant Coop).
- Multi-coop replication keeps your eggs in more than one basket, as advised by every proverb.

What the flock says
Rolled it out to 800 hens without a single feather out of place.
It is, in the words of our CFO, "fine, actually good". We have it on tape.
Perch Edge paid for itself the first week. Then it paid for the second week, too. Strange.
Frequently asked questions
Does Perch Edge work with the rest of the Pollosoft flock?
Absolutely. Everything shares one identity (Cage-Free SSO), one billing account (BillOfLaying), and one deeply optimistic status page.
Is Perch Edge secure?
It is protected by CoopGuard at the perimeter and FeatherLock at rest, and audited annually by TalonAudit. Also, we have never lost a chicken. To our knowledge.
Can I try Perch Edge for free?
Yes. Every software product has a Chick plan that never expires, plus a 30-day trial of Hen, no credit card required. Just a firm, honest handshake with a wing.
