Fastly Edge Cloud Platform

A Content Delivery Network (or CDN) is a service operating across a widely distributed system of servers to bring web content to an end-user based on the end-user's geographic location. A server optimally situated to deliver the best performance and fastest load times is determined algorithmically, with the goal of noticeably improving the end-user's experience (e.g. reduced page load time). Alternately, cost may be prioritized over performance.

We adopted Fastly Edge Cloud Platform to enhance the performance and scalability of our Adobe Commerce on-premise setup. Our key objectives were improving content delivery through a robust CDN, implementing full-page caching for better load management, and ensuring strong security with TLS Encryption. Fastly Edge Cloud Platform has been a critical solution in achieving these goals.

Full Page Caching is a powerful tool, but it’s best suited for experienced developers due to the lack of a user-friendly graphical interface

FPC without the need to build and configure a dedicated infrastructure
reliable and fast content delivery across global regions

We used Fastly both as the pre-configured caching backbone for all our customers as well as a highly-customized edge provider for customers who required more control than the pre-configured version gave them. The use cases could be anything from SEO optimization to enhanced security protection. We also implemented Fastly as a means of providing additional functionality, such as edge logging and image optimization, that could be scaled across multiple web properties with a single configuration.

Comprehensive API.
Feature-rich UI.
Excellent documentation.
Fine-grained custom VCL.

WAF is hard to configure.
No comprehensive rate limiting without a pricey upgrade.
Account access controls are extremely limited.

Support.
Security - either the in-house waf or recent Signal Sciences acquisition.
Speed.
API-driven allows us to use Terraform or custom REST calls to quickly spin up new configurations.

Adding a custom fastly implementation to our sales SKUs opened up 10s of millions of dollars in ARR in a single year.
Fastly enabled us to sell to nearly 100 customers a year that we otherwise would not have been able to service.
We did end up needing to spend nearly $500k/yr for custom TLS certificates (2000 domains).

Fastly is a fantastic CDN / proxy layer for any web application. It’s built on Varnish, which offers a way to customize the caching and delivery of the web content to the end user with maximum flexibility, but without incurring a performance penalty. This is due to Varnish Configuration Language (VCL) being a compiled language.

You can put your site behind Fastly and then selectively cache only some of the endpoints. You can modify the responses returned by stripping cookies or other personalization headers.
You can deliver images, and based on the user agent being Chrome, decide to serve, for example, a WEBP image format instead of PNG or JPG.

While I was at Wanelo we were able to put Fastly in front of the growing web app, and selectively cache end points to improve stability and performance. In the meantime we rewrote the app completely in Ruby. We wouldn’t have been able to do that without Fastly.

AWS Cloud9, Amazon CloudFront and CloudFlare

Fastly is a highly performant CDN and edge computer service, with an impressive list of clients that use its services. Unlike most traditional CDNs, Fastly requires that all traffic be served through it via a CNAME change, similar to CloudFlare (as opposed to a more traditional CDN, like Cloudfront or MaxCDN). This gives Fastly the ability to quickly serve even very low TTL event content, like game scores, news, and stock prices.

Very performant and fast -- major companies have drastically reduced page load times with Fastly's edge technology.
Support for many types of media, including video.
Image add-on makes serving and manipulating images very simple.

Setup can be difficult -- but only because the service is so robust and provides so many features.
Minimum spend is $50/month, even if you are not using the service enough to have spent the $50.

Fastly dramatically reduces load times for clients all over the world thanks to their global system of POPs.
Fastly is a cost-effective choice when a highly-performant CDN is required and makes it simple to support data that is quickly invalidated.
