« Lorsqu'Akamai a appris que nous voulions changer de fournisseur, il nous a proposé une remise de 10 %. Mais cela ne nous intéressait pas. « Nous voulions une meilleure plateforme, et nous trouvons Fastly plus performant qu'Akamai à tous points de vue. »

« Lorsque nous pensons aux autres CDN, comme Cloudflare et Akamai, nous avons l'impression qu'ils sont plus proches d'un ensemble de fonctionnalités vaguement liées entre elles, alors que Fastly est très stable et évolutif, ce qui est un excellent point sur lequel nous pouvons nous appuyer. »
