FAQ

Is the control plane on the request path?

No. Visitors hit the edge, and the edge forwards over the connector tunnel to your app.

Can I self-host without login?

Yes, with a key-mode edge. Use uplink-edge key new, configure the edge with the key hash, then add it locally with uplink edge add ... --api-key.

What is private by default?

uplink serve <port> and a service without access: in uplink.yaml are private by default.

Do edge metrics include request bodies?

No. Edge metering is metadata-only; headers and bodies never leave the request path.
