Trusted by the world's leading enterprises
Move to Fastly’s Edge Cloud Network
Efficient Performance
Powerful, concentrated POPs cache more at the edge, translating into faster web and app performance. Companies migrating from cloud providers to Fastly see a 32% improvement in time to first byte (TTFB).
Cost savings
Fastly reduces origin traffic and egress costs by collapsing multiple redundant requests for the same content into one request to origin using Origin Shield.
If your origin servers are located with a cloud provider, you can benefit from reduced egress costs through our partner relationships.
Multi-cloud broker
Fastly acts as a programmable arbiter to control and route traffic for extra redundancy and resilience. We support intelligent load balancing between cloud providers, facilitating instant failover if your primary origin goes down. We support multi-cloud, hybrid-cloud, and on-premise architecture to give you flexibility when deciding on which core cloud services you want to use for storage, logging, compute, etc.
Shift everywhere
Built for DevSecOps, Fastly’s API-first architecture satisfies admins and developers alike - CDN and security services effortlessly integrate into existing CI/CD workflows, yielding faster innovation and deployment cycles.
Visibility
Visibility is smarter security. An unprecedented choice of 30+ logging endpoint integrations allows teams to access granular details at every stage of the request path: from origin to edge, from CDN to WAF. Avoid batch-based processing and extra charges with traditional cloud providers who often promote their own visibility suite.
Support
Setting the customer experience standard, Fastly maintains a 98% Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) score, a 98% resolution with first contact, and <10 minute enterprise support response time.


"Initially we used Amazon CloudFront, but out of frustration in terms of customizability and performance, we tried Fastly out and it was incredible. Fastly is different. It allows us to really configure our services at a really, you know, low level if we want to. And I've never seen that at any other CDN provider."

“After switching to Fastly, time to first byte (TTFB) went down substantially, and any time we turn up a specific country on Fastly the site responsiveness is dramatic.”
