Network architecture

The path every request takes to your application: the visitor enters at the nearest point of presence, crosses Tier 1 carriers and reaches the New York datacenter, where each server connects at up to 10 Gbps. All of it comes ready, with no network setup on your side.

  • Anycast edge

    Static files are cached at 200+ points of presence, and Anycast sends each visitor to the nearest one. HTTP/3 and Brotli compression come turned on.

    • 200+ points of presence
    • HTTP/3 and Brotli
    • WebSockets and WSS
  • 20 Tbps transit

    Traffic reaches the internet through several Tier 1 carriers, with 20 Tbps of transit capacity, so routes don't depend on a single provider.

    • Several Tier 1 carriers
    • Routes that don't depend on one provider
    • Unlimited traffic, no bandwidth fees
  • Up to 10 Gbps per server

    Each server connects at up to 10 Gbps, on a network built with Juniper equipment. An application and a database in the same datacenter talk at about 1 ms of latency.

    • Up to 10 Gbps on every plan
    • Juniper network equipment
    • ~1 ms between app and database
  • New York datacenter

    The servers sit in Telehouse New York Teleport, a partner Tier 3 datacenter on Staten Island, with N+1 power and cooling and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications.

    • Partner Tier 3 datacenter
    • N+1 power, 48 h of fuel on site
    • ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II

Security in layers

Protection at the edge, encryption in transit and isolation on the server, on every plan and at no extra cost.

  • Firewall and anti-DDoS

    An application firewall (WAF) and always-on DDoS mitigation at layers 3, 4 and 7 sit in front of every application and filter malicious traffic before it reaches your container.

    • Application firewall (WAF)
    • DDoS at layers 3, 4 and 7
    • Always on, no extra cost
  • Automatic TLS

    Every squareweb.app subdomain and every custom domain gets a TLS certificate issued and renewed automatically, with HTTPS and WSS for data in transit.

    • Issued and renewed automatically
    • HTTPS and WSS
    • Custom domains from Standard
  • Isolated containers

    Each application lives in an isolated container, with the RAM you allocate and dedicated vCPU calculated from it and the plan. If the process stops, the container restarts on its own.

    • RAM allocated per application
    • Dedicated vCPU per environment
    • Automatic restart
  • ISO 27001 certified datacenter
  • Independent SOC 2 Type II audit
  • Card and biometric access
  • Security staff on site 24/7 and CCTV
