Build on the edge with ready-to-deploy code
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…
Announcing Lucet: Fastly’s native WebAssembly compiler and runtime
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…
Memory management in WebAssembly: 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.
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,…
How Terrarium reframes the compiler and sandbox relationship
Get hands-on with Terrarium, a Fastly project that lets developers harness the power of edge computing in the languages they already use. See how this technology demonstration came to be (and why we’re even using…
Testing new ideas with Fastly Fiddle
Quickly experiment, debug and try out ideas on Fastly’s platform, without signing up, or even logging in.
Looking to the future: how edge innovation sparked Fastly Labs
We’re thrilled to introduce Fastly Labs, a hub of in-progress projects and big ideas for the developer community to interact with, all built upon our philosophy of trust, transparency, and Fastly’s long history of edge…
Diff at the edge with serverless cloud functions
Requesting the difference between two previously cached files — using just a CDN configuration and a serverless cloud compute function — is a great example of exploiting edge and serverless compute services to make your…
Technical trainings & the future of edge delivery at Altitude SF 2017
Altitude SF 2017 featured hands-on trainings and talks from industry leaders like Reddit, the ACLU, Slack, TED, and more. We explored the future of edge delivery, heard about emerging trends in cloud infrastructure and DevOps,…
How we moved our Historical Stats from MySQL to Bigtable with zero downtime
In an effort to move forward from early architecture that we were quickly outgrowing, we recently migrated our Historical Stats database from self-managed MySQL to Google Cloud Bigtable. Read on to learn how we did…
The IoT industry’s response to emerging threats
Late last year, we took a look at how the Internet of Things (IoT) is under attack. We analyzed hundreds of individual IoT devices to see how often they were probed for vulnerabilities, with the…
