Edge Routing & Split Testing

We are excited to announce that Edgemesh® Server v2 will introduce the Edge Routing feature, offering enhanced capabilities for traffic routing to multiple backends on your domain. This feature allows you to define sets of criteria that determine how incoming traffic is directed, enabling various scenarios such as A/B testing, managing multiple content management systems, creating customized landing pages, and more.

With Edge Routing, you'll have the flexibility to seamlessly distribute incoming requests to different backend systems based on specific conditions and rules. This empowers you to explore new possibilities for optimizing your website's performance, user experience, and content management.

Please note that the documentation for the Edge Routing feature is currently under development and subject to change as we approach the release of Edgemesh® Server v2. We are continuously refining and enhancing this feature to ensure its effectiveness and ease of use.

Stay tuned for more updates and information on the Edge Routing feature as we progress towards its official release. We look forward to empowering you with this powerful capability to further enhance your website's functionality and performance.
