What is Redwood Edge Shield CDN?
Redwood Edge Shield CDN gives you Redwood infrastructure with the knobs that matter exposed and the rest handled for you. Expect sub-minute provisioning, regional replication, and per-item billing. Built for engineering teams that would rather ship features than patch control planes. Redwood operates it as a fully managed service: patching, capacity, and failover are handled upstream, while access controls and spend alerts stay in your hands.
Key features
- Sub-minute provisioning through console, CLI, or API
- Per-second billing with no minimum commitment
- Role-based access control with audit logging
- Built-in daily snapshots with 35-day retention
- Live migration for planned maintenance, no downtime window
- Transparent egress rates published per region
Typical use cases
- Production web applications with spiky traffic patterns
- SaaS platforms scaling from first customer to full estate
- Development teams standardizing on one infrastructure API
- Seasonal businesses that scale down aggressively off-peak
Why Redwood?
Redwood publishes list prices for every region and never gates core capabilities behind enterprise-only tiers. Capacity is pre-provisioned, so the performance you benchmark in a sandbox is the performance you get in production. And because egress rates are flat, the bill at the end of the month matches the estimate you made at the start.
Getting started
Create an account, pick a region, and the default configuration is live in under a minute. The quickstart walks through your first deployment in about ten minutes, and the managed Terraform module turns the same setup into code you can review.
