The record

Product: Easel is a cloud deployment platform for running web apps, sites, agents, and platforms globally.
Infrastructure: Easel says its platform is built mostly on bare metal rather than on top of a hyperscaler.
Deployment workflow: Users can connect a Git repository, get a preview URL on each push, and promote an immutable deployment to production.
Runtime: Easel Functions run framework server routes and allow warm runtimes to handle overlapping requests through in-function concurrency.
CDN: Deployments include a global CDN with managed TLS, framework-aware caching, and tag revalidation.
Observability: Observability combines traffic trends, request logs, platform spans, application OpenTelemetry, cold starts, and function invocations.
Framework integrations: The documentation lists production-ready deployment paths for Next.js, TanStack Start, Nuxt, React Router, SvelteKit, and Vite.
Security: Security features include DDoS mitigation, managed and custom WAF rules, attack challenges, BotID, and deployment protection.
Beta access: The deployments page says Easel is in private beta and invites a small number of JavaScript teams each week.
Usage limits: Hobby is free within its included limits, and unused included usage does not roll over.
Support: Product and account support is available by email, and Pro and Enterprise customers get priority handling.
Company focus: Easel lists its focus as developer infrastructure, edge computing, and AI workloads.
