StackPath

StackPath was an American edge computing platform provider headquartered in Dallas, Texas, founded in 2015 by SoftLayer co-founder Lance Crosby. It sold CDN, WAF/WAAP, DNS, SSL, object storage, edge compute (containers and VMs), serverless scripting and monitoring as a single edge platform, driven by a public REST API at gateway.stackpath.com with OAuth2 client-credentials auth and per-service OpenAPI definitions. The company exited the CDN business in 2023 (roughly 100 enterprise CDN contracts went to Akamai), sold its web application and API protection assets to Gcore in March 2024, then announced in June 2024 that it was ceasing operations and liquidating its remaining assets. All StackPath API, developer-portal, control-panel and status hosts have since been withdrawn from DNS and the company no longer publishes any machine-readable API contract.

StackPath is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Edge Computing, CDN, Web Application Firewall, and DNS.

StackPath’s developer surface includes CLI and 9 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/stackpath: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

StackPath is an area vendor: providers adopt it to run part of their developer surface. This is the Kin Score checks its features can move for a provider that adopts it, what each one really earns, and what it earns nothing for.

StackPath’s CDN no longer exists. It exited the CDN business in August 2023, when Akamai acquired select enterprise customer contracts but not its technology. The company then liquidated and ceased all operations, announced June 2024. Nothing here can move a Kin Score. A catalog provider still showing a StackPath CDN signal is carrying a stale detection, not a live vendor relationship.

Nothing the Kin Score reads. StackPath's features serve the provider's operations, not the published surface the score measures.

Across 8977 providers that publish a contract, adopting StackPath would move 0. Median lift: composite +0.0 (90th percentile +0.0), agent readiness +0.0 (+0.0). Conditional rows excluded.

What StackPath ships that earns nothing (1)

StackPath CDN (discontinued) — A discontinued CDN earns nothing, and even when live, delivery changed nothing any check reads.

A model, not a score. Adopting this vendor changes a provider's Kin Score only when the provider publishes the resulting artifacts on its own surface; nothing here writes a score, and no sponsorship or partnership can. The rating is not for sale → · Full vendor facets artifact
