Switching from Edgio to Harper? Here’s What You Need to Know.

Our Product and Engineering teams do the initial lift for you to build, deploy, and test your applications on HarperDB. We work closely with your team to securely gather the following requirements for migration:

- A complete list of applications, along with any nuances between them.
- Access to your code repository or a forked version.
- Next.js and Node.js versions.
- Configuration files, environment variables, and valid keys.

As part of this process, we will also take steps to convert your Edgio-based Next.js applications to a Harper Next.js application. The HarperDB Delivery team applies several updates to Edgio-specific configurations and dependencies with HarperDB components, ensuring your application can fully utilize HarperDB's high-performance capabilities.

Harper creates dedicated environments tailored to your application needs, ensuring everything works with your existing CI/CD process. This includes any needed development, staging, and production environments. We can also set up temporary single-node environments for testing and experimentation as your team gets acquainted with Harper's fully integrated technology.

There are several ways to deploy on Harper: locally with the Harper CLI, custom Github actions, or through the UI in Harper Studio. We’ll work with your team to customize or provide access to the methods that work best for your CI/CD process.

It’s worth noting that Harper does not require phased deployments by region (e.g., US, EMEA, APAC); we automatically deploy across the entire global network in a single step—eliminating delays and complexities.

For observability, Harper will connect a Prometheus exporter and send critical application data such as logs, error handling, and performance to a fully customizable Grafana dashboard. We can adjust the data visualizations per your specific requirements.

Once your demo application is ready, we’ll conduct a detailed walk-through, providing all deployment instructions in a handy guide. Access credentials will be shared securely, and we’ll discuss ongoing support and future touchpoints to keep your operations running smoothly.

Post-launch, Harper works with you to continue finding more ways to optimize your application so it’s always running like a well-oiled machine. This includes setting cache and routing preferences, updating origin parameters, and ensuring optimal integration. Together with Harper and Akamai, we’ll perform comprehensive load, regression, and acceptance testing to validate performance and reliability so your system is ready for production.
