Deploying to the Edge with Vellum

Edge Standards and global orchestration for Heritage sites.

Global Orchestration is how we ensure your application is served from the edge with sub-100ms latency for all Heritage-tier sites.

Why the Edge Matters

Legacy architectures centralize compute and serve users from a single region. That leads to:

  • High latency for users far from the origin
  • Single points of failure
  • Inability to meet the Vellum Standard for Heritage-grade latency

By deploying to the edge, we:

  • Place assets and logic close to the user
  • Reduce round-trip time to under 100 ms where required
  • Improve resilience and reduce blast radius during incidents

Edge Standards (Summary)

For a site to qualify as Heritage under the Vellum Standard:

  1. Latency — P95 latency from our edge to your origin must be < 100 ms.
  2. Availability — Uptime and health checks must pass Sentinel criteria.
  3. Headers & SSL — Must comply with The Security Vault and Scribe Sentinel requirements.

Full details are in Edge Standards.

Configuration

Edge deployment is managed through the Scribe Cloud dashboard. Configure your project, connect your provider (e.g. Vercel), and ensure your origin responds within the latency budget. Scribe Sentinel will continuously validate that your edge deployment meets the standard.
