# Akamai

A cloud computing, security, and content delivery platform selling infrastructure (compute, storage, CDN, security, and AI tools) to developers and enterprises.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → competitor to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same categories — cloud computing, AI workload support, CDN, and security — to the same frontend and full-stack developers, platform engineers, and AI/agent builders that the anchor targets, putting both on the same buyer shortlist.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Cloud Computing, Security, Content Delivery (CDN)

> cloud computing, edge, and AI tools built for your business

> Protect the applications that drive your business — every day, every time

**Edges:**

- competitor [[runcloud-io]]
