Story
Funko grew edge delivery faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, consumer discretionary teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Platform and web teams were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Akamai CDN put web performance on Akamai. Akamai operates a large edge platform for content delivery, application security, and microsegmentation. Funko keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so platform and web teams do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier web performance. Edge delivery is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join platform and web teams without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
