  • Lies, stats, debunking Cloudflare | Fastly

    Andrew Betts, Laura Thomson, + 1 more

    A couple of weeks ago Cloudflare, one of our competitors, claimed that their edge compute platform is roughly three times as fast as Compute@Edge. The false claim is a great example of how statistics can be used to mislead.

  • Building on top of OAuth at the edge

    Dora Militaru, Andrew Betts

    Authentication is one of the most obvious uses for edge computing. Understanding who your users are as early and as close as possible to their location yields powerful customizations and speedy responses. But there's more than one way to think about how to apply an authentication scheme at the edge.
