  • 30 Years of Web: Future-Ready Apps

    Jana Iyengar

    Many websites today are really applications, and we should be building them as such. To do that, we need application architectures and networks that are capable of supporting fast, secure, and scalable user experiences. We must embrace a more dynamic mindset in how we approach web development and consider the tools we need to get there.

  • 30 Years of Web: Future Demands

    Davin Camara

    As we look back to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the website, it’s also worth thinking about the next 30 years. There are a couple of areas where we — as engineers, developers, and builders in general — can champion innovation, mainly around architecture and security.

  • You can now test Compute code in Fastly Fiddle

    Andrew Betts

    Fastly customers have been using our Fiddle tool for years to try out ideas for edge logic in VCL. With the advent of Compute last year, we made our edge compute network accessible to any language that compiles to WebAssembly, and now you can write Compute code in Fiddle too.

  • Get started with Fastly logging and Compute@Edge | Fastly

    Alex Kesler

    In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the basic steps of outputting messages to STDIO and tailing that output with the Fastly CLI as well as configuring a log streaming endpoint, emitting logs in your application, and confirming the delivery of those logs to your target logging destination.

  • How to configure your Fastly services with Terraform

    Mark McDonnell

    As you start to build more at the edge, it becomes ever more important to deploy edge logic in the same way you deploy changes to your own applications and infrastructure. Today, we’ll take a step back and look holistically at how to configure, manage, and deploy Fastly services using Terraform.

  • Prevent Wasm Compiler Bugs Early | Fastly

    iximeow, Chris Fallin

    We recently discovered a compiler bug in part of the WebAssembly compiler that we use for Compute@Edge, that could have allowed a WebAssembly module to access memory outside of its sandboxed heap. But because of the people, processes, and tools we have in place, the bug was caught and patched on our infrastructure before it was exploited.

  • Creating an Efficient Language with Zig | Fastly

    Hannah Aubry

    Zig is a general purpose programming language, meaning that if you have in front of you something that looks like a Von Neumann-ish, Turing-complete machine, you should be able to comfortably program it with Zig. Lately there has been a lot of interest in two such (virtual) machines: BPF and WebAssembly.

  • Meet AssemblyScript: your next computing language

    Aaron Turner

    AssemblyScript is a variant of TypeScript that produces WebAssembly binaries, the binary format that powers Fastly’s Compute@Edge. It’s a new technology supported by all major browsers, and relative to JavaScript, it offers predictable performance, making WebAssembly well suited for computationally intensive tasks. Let’s dig in on why AssemblyScript is your next computing language.
