About Fastly
Fastly is an edge cloud platform that provides content delivery, edge computing, web application security, and video/audio streaming. Its real-time CDN is built for instant purging and high cache hit ratios.
Fastly Compute enables running custom logic at the edge using WebAssembly, supporting languages like Rust, Go, and JavaScript. This allows developers to build entire applications that run close to end users.
Security services include web application firewall (WAF), DDoS protection, bot management, and TLS management. The platform provides real-time analytics and logging for all edge traffic.
Fastly differentiates with sub-second cache purging, VCL-based configuration for fine-grained control, and edge computing capabilities that go beyond traditional CDN functionality.
