Fastly streams logs to Kafka & Elasticsearch | Fastly
Fastly expands real-time logging support to include six additional endpoints, including Apache Kafka and Elasticsearch.
Introducing scripted testing for Fastly fiddle
Fastly Fiddle allows for instant experimentation with Fastly's edge cloud behaviours without having to set up a Fastly account. Now, we're adding the ability to define assertions to specify the behaviour you are trying to create.
Fastly + Terraform: now better, together
Fastly announces sweeping updates to reconcile its Terraform provider with key Fastly functionality, empowering customers with more automation and customization of services.
Observability in Live Broadcasts and Quality of Experience
Over the past decade, we’ve come to rely on client-based technologies like Conviva and other vendors to identify areas of QoE where we might improve. While client-based analytics provide valuable insights into viewership and critical last-mile performance data, they don’t provide a complete picture.
Build with Fastly: Code Blocks & Tutorials
We're introducing a new collection of tools built just for developers — gathered on one easy-to-search page — so you can discover, test, and deploy edge solutions in a faster, safer way. Filter through dozens of useful code blocks that you can copy and paste directly into your Fastly service configuration, then customize and deploy.
We stand with the LGBTQ+ community
Fastly has joined more than 200 companies to sign a “friend of the court” brief that urges the U.S. Supreme Court to ensure the protection of LGBTQ+ people.
Using Feedback to Improve User Experience
Our new user onboarding experience is built on our values of putting the customer first, transparency, and constantly iterating and innovating. See what's new, and our methodologies for improving.
Prevent attacks with proof of work | Fastly
With attackers using publicly available lists of compromised passwords in an attempt to steal accounts, proof of work is a good way to slow the attackers down.
Fastly’s Initial Public Commit
Today, we listed on the New York Stock Exchange, marking our first day of trading as a public company. Our IPO is a big milestone for Fastly, as well as a celebration of the collective success of our global community and customers. I am so proud of what we’ve built together — and this is just the beginning.
The lifecycle and performance of a Lucet instance
Lucet, Fastly’s open source WebAssembly compiler and runtime system, is designed to take WebAssembly beyond the browser, and build a platform for faster, safer execution on Fastly’s edge cloud. This post will introduce each step in the Lucet lifecycle, and benchmark its performance to highlight how we keep overhead low.
Expanding Fastly’s Partnership with Microsoft Azure | Fastly
We believe that developers should have the freedom to choose the best possible solution for their needs — without worrying about unpredictable costs. The internet should be a great experience for you and your team regardless of what platforms you use to digitally transform your business. That’s why we’re partnering with Microsoft Azure to offer cost-effective data transfer to our joint customers. Starting today, any outbound data transfer between select Azure regions and Fastly POPs will be highly available, and data transfer costs will be covered by Fastly through our agreement with Microsoft.
Feature policy: the web's missing guardrails
Over almost 30 years of its life, the web has grown beyond anyone's imagination, and the platform has become immensely powerful and flexible. With that power and flexibility comes complexity, and the potential for slow or insecure websites to deliver a poor user experience that drives people away from the web. Feature policy is here to help, and we've built a tool to show you how to use it.
Lucet Takes WebAssembly Beyond the Browser | Fastly
Today, we're thrilled to announce the open sourcing of Lucet, our native WebAssembly compiler and runtime. WebAssembly is a technology created to enable web browsers to safely execute programs at near-native speeds, and it's been shipping in the four major browsers since early 2017.
Supercharging Server Timing with HTTP trailers
Server Timing is a great mechanism for collecting new performance metrics in the browser. Fastly and Firefox have teamed up to make them even more powerful by adding support for using Server Timing with HTTP trailers.
Why Fastly loves QUIC and HTTP/3
We're thrilled to be so invested in QUIC, a new transport protocol that is more responsive, secure, and flexible than what the internet uses today. Learn why, straight from our very own Jana Iyengar, one of the editors of the core document.
New branding, same mission
We are building a more trustworthy internet: where developers can innovate faster, so good companies can do great things. To better capture that spirit, we’ve refreshed our branding.
Creating standards for CDNs
Content delivery networks (CDNs) have been around for a long time, but they’re not all built in the same way. While Fastly’s edge cloud platform goes beyond traditional content delivery networks by moving things to the edge, there are more fundamental differences; it’s not uncommon for CDNs to make up their own rules about how they serve web traffic, since CDNs didn’t exist when HTTP was defined. To improve this, we’re working alongside other platforms to standardize basic protocol handling for CDNs.
Guide for C and Rust programmers
Recently we launched Fastly Terrarium, a multi-language, browser-based editor and deployment platform where you can experiment with edge technology. Now, for those well-versed in C and Rust, we'll explore WebAssembly memory management and implementation.
Protecting Financial Applications at Scale
Security and development teams have a responsibility to secure customer data at the web application layer and stop attackers and Fastly's Next-Gen WAF can help.
Edge programming with Rust and WebAssembly
Take a developer deep dive into Terrarium, our multi-language, browser-based editor and deployment platform at the edge. Learn how to compile Rust programs to WebAssembly right on your local machine, interact with the Terrarium system, and explore some applications we’ve built with it.
