Story
Inside Auth0, web performance used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. Platform and web teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Auth0 uses Ion from Akamai as the working layer for edge delivery. Akamai operates a large edge platform for content delivery, application security, and microsegmentation. The practical change is simple: web performance has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Auth0 gets from Akamai is a durable place to run web performance and a way for platform and web teams to see the same edge delivery at the same time.
