Dify × EdgeOne Best Practices Contest Now Open for Submissions
Dify makes building AI applications effortless — no code required. But going from “it works on my machine” to “it’s live for the world” still hits the same wall: tangled deployment configuration and unpredictable global access experience.
That’s where EdgeOne comes in. Together with Dify, we’re closing that last-mile gap with two ready-to-use frontend templates (a full-scenario app template and an AI customer service template) plus one-click deployment — so your AI app goes from prototype to production without friction.
We’re inviting developers around the world to share what you’ve built. Submit an article or a video showcasing your real-world experience or a creative use case on Dify × EdgeOne, and you could walk away with great rewards.
