How Anycast Agents works
Built on NetActuate's global anycast network — 40+ PoPs across 25+ countries.
Global anycast network
Agents connect to the nearest of 40+ global edge locations. Intelligent BGP routing ensures the fastest path with automatic failover.
SDK integration
Two lines of code add persistent memory, usage tracking, heartbeat monitoring, cost attribution, and Slack integration.
Connector architecture
Portal-side: credentials encrypted in platform. Agent-side: credentials stay in your network, only results return.
Anycast Connect
Persistent WebSocket connection. HTTPS requests route to the nearest edge and tunnel to your local service.

Design principles
- Edge-first — Every connection starts at the nearest global edge location.
- Credentials stay local — Agent-side connectors execute in your network.
- Automatic failover — BGP routing moves traffic around unhealthy locations.
