A Managed Edge in Front of Your App: Custom Domains, TLS, Cache, and a WAF
App Hosting runs your container next to your data and gives it a URL at https://{name}.foundrydb.com. That is enough to ship, but production wants more in front of the origin: your own domain, a real certificate that renews itself, a cache so repeat requests never touch your container, a rate limit so one client cannot drown the rest, and a first line of defense against the obvious injection attempts. Until now each of those was something you bolted on yourself.
FoundryDB now runs that layer for you. The edge gateway is a managed HTTP front end that sits between the public internet and your app's origin. You turn on the pieces you want through one settings call, point a domain at us, and the platform handles certificates, caching, limits, inspection, and the analytics that tell you what is happening.
