Roadmap

# What's Next

Our product roadmap is driven by customer feedback and our vision for the future of edge infrastructure.

Status: Completed
In Progress
Planned
Exploring

## Q1 2026

Shipped

### DNS Examiner

Completed
AI-powered zone analysis checking email deliverability, security, nameservers, and best practices. Available in control panel, CLI, and agent API.

DNS AI

### DNS Backup Service

Completed
Automated daily backups of DNS zones with download, one-click restore, and per-zone monthly billing.

DNS

### Agent API

Completed
Agentic API for AI-driven infrastructure management. Deploy static sites, provision VMs, manage DNS — all via a self-describing API with natural language summaries.

Platform

### Edge CLI

Completed
Command-line tool for managing all Edge resources. Compute, DNS, Storage, and CDN operations from the terminal.

Platform

### Speed Test

Completed
Developer-grade speed test at speed.edge.network. Parallel-stream throughput, latency under load, bufferbloat grading, live charts, and JSON export.

Platform

## Q2 2026

Shipped

### Edge Shield

Completed
Free bot protection with a 1–100 humanity score. Invisible proof-of-work verification, privacy-first by construction — no cookies, no tracking, no puzzles for real visitors.

Shield

### Verified Agents

Completed
Cryptographic agent identification via Web Bot Auth, the IETF standard backed by OpenAI, Google, and Amazon. Welcome automation that declares itself — reserve the aggression for automation that won't.

Shield

### Shield Examiner

Completed
AI-powered analysis of your Shield traffic — solve rates, score distributions, and anomaly detection with plain-English recommendations.

Shield AI

### DDoS Protection + WAF

Completed
DDoS mitigation and web application firewall at the CDN edge, protecting your origin at no extra cost.

CDN

## Q3 2026

Current Quarter

### Shield Everywhere

Completed
Shield in the Edge CLI (edge shield) and the Agent API, so AI agents can add bot protection to the forms they deploy. Plus behavioural scoring that refines the humanity score as visitors interact.

Shield Platform

### Edge Pulse — Synthetic Monitoring

In Progress
Global uptime and performance monitoring from residential locations. HTTP, API, SSL, and DNS checks from 2,000+ community edge hosts worldwide. The probe network is live; dashboards, alerting, and status pages are in build.

Progress 40%

Pulse

### Edge Accreditation

Planned
A structured programme through every Edge product, ending in an online exam. Pass to earn a verifiable certificate, an upweighted referral bonus, and a listing on the Approved Partners directory.

Platform

### Edge Sparks

Exploring
Stateful sandboxes for AI agents and untrusted code — hardware-isolated microVMs with instant checkpoint & restore, scale-to-zero economics, and preview URLs on the Edge network.

Compute

## Q4 2026 & Beyond

### Managed Databases

Planned
Hosted PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis with automated backups, failover, and point-in-time recovery.

Compute Storage

### AI Gateway

Planned
API gateway for AI applications — model routing, semantic caching, rate limiting, cost management, and observability at the edge.

AI CDN

### AI Platform Features

Planned
CDN Optimiser, Firewall Advisor, Setup Script Generator, Incident Explainer, Cost Advisor, and Migration Assistant — all AI-powered, built into the control panel alongside the DNS and Shield Examiners.

AI Platform

### Domain Registration

Planned
Register domains directly from Edge. Automatic nameserver configuration, WHOIS privacy included, seamless DNS setup.

DNS

### Video Platform

Exploring
Video hosting, transcoding, and adaptive streaming. Distributed transcoding via edge hosts. Zero egress delivery.

CDN Storage Compute

### Marketplace

Exploring
Third-party applications, templates, and integrations. One-click deployments for WordPress, Ghost, Next.js, and more.
