- Unit: Million events invoked; count each event executed for traffic during the month. Rates differ by resource tier and are available from the account representative.
- Free tier: Evaluation Tier available (free, confirmed via techdocs: 'confirm the price (free), and review and accept the Terms and Conditions to proceed'). Limited to contract evaluation; not a production free tier.

## Runtime

- **GPU & accelerators**: No GPU available in EdgeWorkers. EdgeWorkers is a JavaScript-only serverless FaaS; no GPU-backed instances are offered on this SKU. GPU/ML workloads would require Akamai Cloud Computing (Linode) separately. [source](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/docs/welcome-to-edgeworkers) (confidence: high)
- **BYOC (Bring your own cloud)**: No. EdgeWorkers runs exclusively on Akamai's own global edge network. No bring-your-own-cloud option exists for EdgeWorkers. [source](https://www.akamai.com/products/serverless-computing-edgeworkers) (confidence: high)
- **Secrets management**: No first-party secrets management documented for EdgeWorkers specifically. Environment variables and Property Manager variables are available (max 1024 chars, up to 4000 with approval). EdgeKV can be used for token/secret storage. No dedicated vault or secrets injection product analogous to Cloudflare Secrets Store. [source](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/docs/resource-tier-limitations.md) (confidence: medium)
- **Storage options**: EdgeKV — first-party edge-resident key-value store tightly integrated with EdgeWorkers (companion product; requires separate add-on to contract). No block storage or persistent disk. No object storage directly accessible from EdgeWorkers functions (would require HTTP sub-request to Akamai Cloud / external). [source](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgekv/docs/welcome-to-edgekv) (confidence: high)
- **Supported workloads**: EdgeWorkers functions (V8-isolate JS/TS serverless at CDN edge), EdgeKV data reads/writes (companion edge KV store), HTTP sub-requests (upstream fetch from edge function), ResponseProvider (full response generation, streaming), SubWorkers (nested function composition — up to 2-level tree) [source](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/docs/welcome-to-edgeworkers) (confidence: high)
- **Persistence**: Stateless — EdgeWorkers functions are ephemeral; no persistent local disk between requests. Durable state lives in EdgeKV (edge-resident key-value store, a companion product) or in origin. No persistent filesystem. [source](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/docs/welcome-to-edgeworkers) (confidence: high)
- **Data jurisdiction**: Global anycast across Akamai's 4,300+ PoP network in 130+ countries. No documented per-request jurisdiction pinning for EdgeWorkers (unlike Cloudflare's Data Localization Suite). Enterprise customers may negotiate contractual data residency. EdgeWorkers is NOT supported on China CDN. — "'EdgeWorkers is not supported on Akamai CDNs created to accommodate unique regional or governmental requirements. This limitation currently includes China CDN.'" [source](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/docs/limitations.md) (confidence: medium)
- **Resource limits & quotas**: Three resource tiers — Basic, Dynamic (default), Enterprise. CPU: 10ms/20ms/70ms per standard handler; 60ms–300ms init. Memory: 1.5MB/2.5MB/4MB per handler. Wall time: 4s/5.5s/10s. HTTP sub-requests: 2/4/10 concurrent. Code bundle: 512KB compressed, 1MB uncompressed. Max 200 EdgeWorker IDs/account, 1000 versions/ID, 20 activations/min, 500/day. Cold start < 5ms. responseProvider differs: Basic/Dynamic/Enterprise CPU 100/200/300ms, memory 2/4/6MB, wall 4/8/10s, 50 total subrequests and 5/5/10 parallel. respondWith body limit is now 16,384 characters. [source](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/docs/resource-tier-limitations.md) (confidence: high)
- **SDK languages**: JavaScript, TypeScript — "V8 runtime supports JavaScript natively; TypeScript is supported (transpiled to JS). External npm modules can be bundled as flat .js files. No other language runtimes documented." [source](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/docs/edgeworkers-javascript-code) (confidence: high)
- **Network & egress controls**: HTTP sub-requests from EdgeWorkers functions are allowed but limited by tier (2–10 concurrent, 4–10s wall time). No documented per-function outbound allowlist/firewall for blocking arbitrary egress. Sub-request response size capped (5MB Basic/Dynamic, 8MB Enterprise). Platform-level Akamai WAF/security applies but is not a per-function egress control. [source](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/docs/resource-tier-limitations.md) (confidence: medium)
- **Snapshots & forks**: No snapshot or fork primitive for running EdgeWorkers instances. EdgeWorkers are stateless; no copy-on-write or memory-checkpoint capability is documented. [source](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/docs/resource-tier-limitations.md) (confidence: medium)
- **Deployment methods**: Three interfaces: (1) Akamai CLI (`akamai install edgeworkers` + `akamai edgeworkers` commands — register, upload, activate, test); (2) EdgeWorkers Management Application (GUI in Akamai Control Center); (3) EdgeWorkers REST API v1 (OpenAPI spec at github.com/akamai/akamai-apis/apis/edgeworkers/v1/openapi.json, 619KB). Terraform provider also available (akamai_edgeworkers_resource_tier resource documented in techdocs). [source](https://techdocs.akamai.com/edgeworkers/docs/akamai-cli.md) (confidence: high)
- **Isolation**: V8 isolate — "Marketing page verbatim: 'Execute code on any edge server on demand, with an extremely fast cold-start time with V8 isolates'. TechDocs verbatim: 'EdgeWorkers uses Google's V8 engine for its code execution runtime. It is high-performing, and constantly evolving and improving.' TechDocs: 'We selected the V8 runtime because of its native support for JavaScript.' Cold start < 5ms documented." [source](https://www.akamai.com/products/serverless-computing-edgeworkers) (confidence: high)
