    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.

  • Expanding Fastly’s Partnership with Microsoft Azure | Fastly

    Marcus Sarmento

    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

    Andrew Betts

    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

  • 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

    Mark Nottingham

    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.
