SANTA CLARA, CA, February 2, 2022 – Webscale, the Cloud Platform for Modern Commerce, today launched CloudEDGE PWA, the industry’s first end-to-end progressive web application (PWA) delivery solution. CloudEDGE PWA supports frontend delivery for any commerce platform backend, including Adobe/Magento, Shopify, Hybris, Salesforce Commerce Cloud or BigCommerce, and facilitates the delivery of enterprise, custom or open-source PWA frameworks, in a matter of minutes. Webscale brings enterprise-class, PWA cloud delivery to stores of any size, on any platform globally, with speed, scalability, security, and programmability.

The Speed and Simplicity of Market-proven PWAs

With mobile commerce representing over half of all online sales, and struggling with the demands of Core Web Vitals, brands and B2B organizations need native app-like experiences, with lightning-fast load times, and device-optimized performance, to improve their user experience. PWAs combine traditional website functionalities with the best mobile app features to help brands reach and win new customers.

Webscale’s CloudEDGE PWA enables the rapid deployment and delivery of any PWA framework, from within the CloudEDGE content delivery network (CDN), optimized for consistently fast performance across any device type, and eliminating the need for additional infrastructure. PWAs are now deployed close to the user, within the network’s edge, and can connect seamlessly to the origin across self- and fully-hosted ecommerce platforms, microservices or packaged business capabilities.

Webscale CloudEDGE PWA delivers:

• Turnkey market-proven commerce delivery and compatibility – Ecommerce merchants, as well as their developers and agencies can quickly launch their own PWA-enabled stores on any ecommerce platform or deployment model.
• Cost-effective resources and lower OpEx – CloudEDGE PWA eliminates the need for non-standard development practices, decreasing time-to-market, while maintaining full manageability, security assurance, programmability and compliance.
• Fast onboarding experience – Dynamic CloudEDGE PWA API controls and included image handling functions minimize load time, with intelligent full-page caching and higher Core Web Vitals as a result.
• 24/7 Support and Services – Website uptime, Core Web Vitals metrics monitoring and alerting, CDN traffic metrics, real user monitoring (RUM), performance and security are fully managed around the clock within the Webscale Portal. CloudEDGE PWA is backed by a team of multi-cloud-certified, commerce and DevSecOps experts, available 24/7/365.
• Futureproof – Modern commerce environments are becoming more complex, particularly around the delivery of headless websites and PWAs. CloudEDGE PWA leverages platform automation and highly defined DevSecOps protocols that enable the fast setup of a reliable CI/CD pipeline for secure PWA delivery.
• Peace of mind – An integrated, programmable global CDN, enterprise-grade security, performance and deep expertise are all included, leaving development agencies free to focus on frontend design and realizing their client’s brand vision.

“PWAs provide a fast track for your mobile strategy and, implemented correctly, can deliver enormous benefits to your storefront’s performance and user experience,” said Jay Smith, CTO and Founder, Webscale. “Given the speed at which the PWA movement is progressing, now more than ever, it is paramount to go to market with a partner like us that has a proven track record of security, availability and performance.”
