There are very few teams in the world who have built a production anycast network from zero. We are two of them. The Sucuri CDN, the GoDaddy CDN, and the CleanBrowsing anycast DNS network were all designed and brought up under our direct leadership. We can do the same for you.
When you want an anycast network
You want anycast when you need: ultra-low-latency resolution from many regions; resilience to regional outages or DDoS; or a CDN/edge that scales horizontally without per-region failover gymnastics.
You probably don't want to build your own anycast network if Cloudflare or Fastly does the job. We'll tell you that on the first call. We get hired when the off-the-shelf options aren't a fit — because of cost, control, latency to a specific geography, regulatory requirements, or a product that needs to live at the edge.
What's involved
- ASN acquisition & PI prefix planning
- POP selection (latency mapping, transit economics, carrier diversity)
- BGP announcement strategy & route filtering
- Server / hypervisor build-out at each POP
- Anycast routing for DNS, TCP, or HTTP/QUIC
- Health-checking & route withdrawal automation
- Observability across all POPs
What it looks like in practice
Most anycast builds run in three phases: a regional pilot (2–4 POPs) to validate routing and operations, a global rollout (8–20 POPs depending on geography), and a hardening phase where you tune capacity and shed the early-build technical debt.
Typical timelines: 3–6 months from kickoff to a globally-routable production anycast network you can run yourself.
