Use Akamai tools in each development phase

You can use Akamai tools to build site logic, develop edge compute solutions, secure apps and APIs, and solve a variety of technology challenges. In this guide you'll get acquainted with tools and resources you can use to start integrating Akamai solutions.

• Code. Create code that controls the logic of how edge servers handle requests, objects, and responses for your website and applications. Learn how to set up property snippets for content delivery or create a custom rule for application security.

• Build. Develop edge computing solutions with EdgeWorkers and improve your application performance by implementing API Acceleration.

• Test. Use Sandbox to test site changes locally and mitigate issues before deploying, and Test Center for functional and comparative testing of property versions.

• Release. Roll out your Akamai configuration changes with automation tools and create an Akamai pipeline.

• Automate. Automate infrastructure as code with the Akamai Terraform Provider. Use APIs to automate your workflows.

• Monitor. Access and use Akamai data, such as log files and events, to monitor and continuously improve your website and application performance. Use Akamai solutions, such as DataStream for traffic analysis and monitoring CDN health, mPulse for real-user monitoring, SIEM Integration to monitor security threats, and Unified Log Streamer to simplify SIEM integrations. These tools can help you with your DevOps and DevSecOps strategies, so you can take action based on data.
