Instart Logic

Instart Logic was a web application performance and security company founded in 2010 (originally as Zettata) and headquartered in Palo Alto, California. It pioneered an endpoint-integrated cloud delivery architecture that paired a cloud service with a client-side JavaScript engine (the Nanovisor) running in the browser to accelerate web and mobile web applications, optimize and stream images (SmartVision), and defend applications with bot management and a web application firewall. Backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins, Tenaya Capital, Greylock, Sutter Hill Ventures and others across roughly $140M+ in venture funding, the company's technology assets were acquired by Akamai Technologies in early 2020, after which the business wound down. No live developer or API surface remains: the instartlogic.com domain resolves to no website host and is served by Akamai nameservers.

Instart Logic is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, CDN, Content Delivery, Web Performance, and Application Security.
