  • OpenTelemetry Part 2: Using OpenTelemetry in VCL

    Andrew Betts

    We're starting to get excited about OpenTelemetry, and want you to be able to observe your Fastly services just like you do with apps running in your core cloud provider — and see the stories of your end user's journeys mapped end to end.  VCL services can emit OpenTelemetry data, and be part of that story.

  • OpenTelemetry Part 1: Making the Edge less distant

    Andrew Betts

    One of the main reasons you use Fastly is that we are close to your end users, able to respond in a few milliseconds.  But that can also make it feel like Fastly is "outside" your system, "in front". To feel like Fastly is truly part of your application architecture, you need to observe your whole system at the same time, in one place.  OpenTelemetry is a new standard that can help.

  • ESI and the story of libraries built for the edge

    Kailan Blanks

    Traditionally, content delivery networks have been built upon a proprietary core product which is supported by equally proprietary add-ons such as image optimization and content filtering. Fastly has always done a bit better than this – from the beginning, building our network on the Varnish cache gave our customers the ability to fully program how requests were served at the edge. However, the constraints of VCL, the domain-specific language used to configure Varnish, meant that you were limited to only the features that we chose to offer.
