Through this partnership, CacheFly joins the Hydrolix CDN Insights ecosystem. Hydrolix CDN Insights delivers immediate visibility into CDN performance for single- and multi-CDN deployments without requiring custom engineering work.

This partnership combines CacheFly's ultra-low-latency edge network with Hydrolix's high-performance real-time, global- scale data platform, enabling customers to unify CDN data across CacheFly and other CDN providers and unlock actionable insights from terabytes to petabytes of data - without prohibitive costs. "Partnering with Hydrolix allows us to extend the value of our edge platform beyond delivery into deep, real-time intelligence across multi-CDN architectures," said Matt Levine, founder and CTO at CacheFly. "By joining CDN Insights, our customers gain a unified, global view of CDN performance - making it easier to optimize routing decisions, improve user experience, enhance security, and make faster, data-driven decisions." "We are committed to expanding our support across the leaders in content delivery, and with CDN Insights, we're providing correlated observability across any mixture of CDN strategies. So obviously, we're excited to announce native support for CacheFly, which adds critical coverage for teams who demand the flexibility to build their delivery stack on their own terms - and the visibility to prove it's performing. Now teams running CacheFly have the full picture," said Michael Cucchi, CMO, Hydrolix.
