StackPath
StackPath is an edge computing and CDN provider offering content delivery, WAF, and DDoS protection for websites and streaming applications.
What is StackPath?
StackPath launched in 2015 with an acquisition-based growth strategy, buying up established CDN, DDoS mitigation, and edge computing companies to assemble an integrated platform aimed at mid-market web properties and digital media companies. The company acquired MaxCDN, Fireblade, and several other infrastructure businesses in rapid succession, positioning itself as a security-forward CDN competitor to Cloudflare and Fastly. StackPath's pitch was tight integration between content delivery and security services — WAF, DDoS protection, and SSL all bundled with CDN — without requiring enterprise-scale contracts.
The StackPath platform provides content delivery through a global network of points of presence, edge computing capabilities for running workloads at the CDN layer, and web application firewall services that filter malicious traffic before it reaches origin servers. Customers configure their CDN settings, cache rules, and security policies through a management portal. StackPath's edge computing product allows customers to run JavaScript-based workers at the CDN edge, similar to Cloudflare Workers, enabling personalisation and dynamic content generation without round-trips to the origin.
CDN and infrastructure platform outages have a distinctive blast radius because StackPath's customers rely on it to deliver their own services to their end users. A StackPath CDN failure does not just affect StackPath's dashboard — it degrades or eliminates content delivery for every website, streaming property, and application behind it. DDoS protection failures mean that attack traffic the CDN normally absorbs reaches customer origin servers, potentially overwhelming them. Edge compute failures prevent custom logic from executing, which for some customers means core functionality breaks rather than just performance degrading. The management portal going offline prevents configuration changes at the moment customers may most need to respond to an incident.
Outage.gg tracks StackPath CDN and edge platform availability through reports from web developers, infrastructure engineers, and digital media operators. If StackPath CDN is failing, the portal is inaccessible, or edge compute is down, the live status page reflects what the StackPath customer community is reporting.
