Instart Logic Debuts Next-Generation Software-Defined Application Delivery Platform for Modern Applications
Instart Logic, the leading
cloud application delivery provider that brings speed, security and
scale to websites and applications, today announced at the O'Reilly
Velocity Conference the next generation of its Software-Defined
Application Delivery (SDAD) platform. The major update to the
platform includes new performance features including JavaScript
Interception that accelerates third party code, and development of
Browser Cache Purge to extend cache control to the browser.
Today, cloud and mobile architectures are providing new ways to design
and deliver web applications that enable faster time to market,
personalized end-user experiences and improved business agility. Instart
Logic's SDAD platform is built from the ground up for these modern-day
applications and gives customers increased programmatic access and
control, delivering dramatically superior user experiences and
performance boost over traditional content delivery networks (CDNs).
Next-Generation SDAD Platform
Instart Logic's SDAD platform includes:
-
Expanded APIs and a new management portal for improved agility and
end-to-end programmatic control.
-
A big data platform that enables consolidated real-time reporting and
analytics of globally distributed information.
-
Embedded machine learning to automatically improve performance.
-
Nanovisor 2.0, an upgrade to its patented client technology, which
enables new innovations in performance and security.
As part of its next-generation SDAD platform, Instart Logic today also
announced two new performance features: JavaScript Interception and
Browser Cache Purge.
JavaScript Interception
According to httparchive,
the amount of JavaScript used by the top 100 websites has almost tripled
in the last year, with 40 percent of these
JavaScript requests being for third party content. Application
publishers typically are not able to control the performance of third
party content, which can negatively impact user experiences.
Instart Logic's JavaScript
Interception improves performance, availability and reliability by
extending its recently announced JavaScript
Streaming capability to intercept both static and dynamic third
party content through its SDAD service.
This feature is made possible by the new Nanovisor 2.0 that includes an
industy-first, client-side interception system, enabling runtime
redirection of client-side asset requests. The JavaScript Interception
solution:
-
Re-routes third party JavaScript requests through Instart Logic's
service, providing performance, availability and reliability.
-
Removes domain name lookup and connection establishment overhead.
-
Applies SmartSequence
technology to third party JavaScript code.
JavaScript Interception is the first use case of this capability, but in
the future will be deployed to redirect other third party elements such
as CSS (News - Alert), fonts and images.
For more details on JavaScript Interception, read the Instart Logic technology
blog.
Browser Cache Purge
Today, Instart Logic also announced it is developing a revolutionary new
performance feature - Browser Cache Purge - that extends programmatic
cache control to the browser. Browser Cache Purge changes the current
model of web application development by making caching an integral
component of application design. Current caching systems cannot manage
browser cache and typically rely on a polling mechanism to manage cache
currency, also known as "time to live (TTL)."
With Browser Cache Purge, publishers will be able to push changes to the
browser via an API and clear browser cache instantaneously whenever
necessary. This new capability improves performance by eliminating
unnecessary network requests to check for current content and will
fundamentally change how applications are designed. Instart Logic is
initiating an Early
Experience Program to recruit application publishers to provide
input into how this capability impacts application design.
Programmatic Control with APIs
In addition, Instart Logic is opening up its SDAD platform and providing
developers with deep programmatic control of the end-to-end delivery
path with a complete set of APIs.
The new APIs include:
-
Account Management: programmatic control of account settings, user
access and privileges.
-
Session Management: active management of authenticated sessions.
-
Configuration: full control of configuration settings for optimization
features.
-
Statistics: user defined, near real-time reporting of all system
activity.
-
Cache Management: real-time, end-to-end control of purging the cache.
-
Activity Reporting: complete management for searching, reading and
updating tasks.
Pricing & Availability
Instart Logic's JavaScript Interception solution is available today as
part of the company's SDAD platform. The APIs will be available this
summer and included as part of the platform, with pricing starting at
$5,000 a month.
Customers can sign up for the Browser Cache Early Experience Program
starting today by visiting the Instart Logic Developer
Central, which includes the Developer
Community and API
documentation.
