DataJelly Edge: Deep Dive
A technical look at how Edge handles traffic routing, snapshot generation, redirects, and search engine indexing — built for engineering and product teams.
How DataJelly Handles Website Traffic
This diagram shows the full request lifecycle: how Edge intercepts incoming traffic, identifies the visitor type (human, search bot, AI agent, social crawler), and routes each request to the appropriate rendering pipeline — all at the edge, before your app server is ever hit.
How Snapshots Deliver Optimized Content to Bots
A detailed look at the snapshot generation and delivery pipeline. Edge renders your JavaScript pages in a headless browser, captures the fully-rendered DOM, and stores optimized HTML and Markdown snapshots that are served instantly to bots on subsequent requests.
How Redirects Work at the Edge
Edge evaluates redirect rules at the network layer before your SPA even loads. This diagram walks through the redirect matching, chain resolution, and loop-detection logic that ensures bots and users always land on the correct canonical URL.
How Google Actually Indexes Your Website
Understanding Google's two-phase indexing process — initial crawl vs. render queue — is key to understanding why prerendering matters. This diagram illustrates where JavaScript apps break down in the indexing pipeline and how Edge short-circuits the problem.
