Direct Synopsis: This repository demonstrates a serverless Content Management System (CMS) built entirely on Fastly components like ObjectStore and VCL. It provides a lightweight framework to serve as a base for hosting single-page web applications and microsites directly from the edge.
What Core Problem Does This Solve?
Traditional CMS setups require heavy origin database infrastructure that adds round-trip latency to web traffic.
Key Benefit 1:
Eliminates origin dependencies by storing and delivering web content directly via Fastly ObjectStore.
Key Benefit 2:
Accelerates content load times for microsites and single-page apps (SPAs) globally.
What is the Architecture and Tech Stack?
Component | Technology | Role in Demo |
Routing & Logic | VCL | Manages request intercepting and edge routing |
