Why Yaiba?

Yaiba is a play on Crunchyroll's 'Katana', which stands for "Edge Playback Orchestration for Stateless Multi-CDN & SSAI"

Yaiba, logically, stands for "Your Infra Is Basically A CDN Now".

The actual japanese word, yaiba (刃), means the blade of a sword (the 'edge' of the sword).

The leap from sword (Katana) to blade (Yaiba) isn’t just poetic – it mirrors the technical shift. Katana orchestrates edge workflows; the goal of Yaiba is to abstract them entirely, treating your gateway as a seamless extension of the CDN. Logical? Sharp, even.

p.s. if the acronym doesn't make you smirk, you're not trying hard enough.
