Personalization without touching your backend

Delivering tailored experiences often requires backend integration. A front-of-site layer lets you run personalization, recommendations, and contextual assistants at the edge so you can pilot fast and measure impact without backend work.

Why use an edge personalization layer

Reduce engineering effort for experiments, accelerate time to insight, and avoid risky changes to core backend systems. The layer intercepts responses and augments or substitutes content based on context, user signals, or business rules.

Common patterns

Adaptive content

Show alternate headlines, CTAs, or content blocks based on inferred intent or persona. Use cached non-personalized variations when latency or privacy prevents live calls.

Contextual assistants

Provide in-page help or summarization tailored to the current page without changing origin templates. Keep admin-only controls for preview and approval.

Recommendations

Serve product and content recommendations at the edge using lightweight signals and safe fallback logic to original content when model outputs are unavailable.

Operational considerations

Enforce data minimization, maintain audit logs of transformations, and provide canary rollouts with automatic rollback triggers. Measure business outcomes such as conversion lift and support reduction alongside technical signals like latency and error rate.

Example snippet

// Example: edge enrichment flow
fetch(originUrl(req))
  .then(resp => resp.text())
  .then(html => callTransformService(req.url, html))
  .then(enrichedHtml => respond(enrichedHtml))
  .catch(() => respond(originalHtml));

If you want, we can help convert a chosen use case into a short pilot plan with measurable metrics and an automatic rollback strategy. Start small, measure results, and iterate.
