Upsun, a multi-cloud application platform, successfully addressed its challenges in tracking user interactions and attribution accuracy by implementing Edgee's edge-based, first-party data collection platform. This solution enabled Upsun to overcome visibility issues caused by ad blockers and privacy-focused browsers, particularly among its technical audience of developers. As a result, Upsun experienced a significant 4.8x increase in monthly visits, improved CPC attribution accuracy by 5x, and achieved a 63x higher conversion rate for webinars. Edgee's platform allowed Upsun to capture all user interactions across various channels while ensuring compliance with regulations such as GDPR, leading to smarter ad spend allocation and enhanced strategic decision-making. Consequently, the company gained a comprehensive understanding of customer journeys, enabling it to optimize and scale its marketing efforts effectively.

Edgee has partnered with Upsun, formerly known as Platform.sh, to integrate Edgee Components into Upsun's global infrastructure, aiming to revolutionize how organizations deploy and manage web services by leveraging edge computing. This collaboration addresses the limitations of traditional browser-based analytics, such as data loss, privacy risks, and slow performance, by executing analytics logic directly at the network edge, which enhances data visibility and compliance while improving website speed. With this partnership, Edgee Components become readily accessible across Upsun's extensive data center network, offering seamless integration and setup for users. This strategic move allows Upsun customers to deploy Edgee Components alongside their applications, resulting in accurate, privacy-compliant data collection without relying on browser-based SDKs. The partnership paves the way for a new ecosystem of modular, high-performance computing, emphasizing a shared vision of delivering cutting-edge innovations to developers and creating faster, more reliable web applications.

Edge First-id, a start-up founded in 2022, has launched the First-id Component on Edgee, a solution designed to help brands, media companies, and advertisers regain control over their first-party data without the need for cookies or extensive coding. This innovation arises amidst the decline of third-party cookies, browser restrictions, and the rise of ad-blockers, which have complicated traditional data tracking methods. By integrating First-id’s deterministic cookieless identifier with Edgee’s edge components, this solution offers a streamlined process that allows for fast activation and strong compliance while maintaining user privacy. It supports over 250 premium brands, allowing them to manage data across all domains efficiently, immune to common blocking mechanisms, and in compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR. The edge-native approach enhances ad monetization, targeting, conversion measurement, and interoperability, providing clear benefits for media companies, e-commerce brands, and agencies. The First-id Component is now accessible in the Edgee Component Registry, promising improved audience recognition and marketing performance.
