Being able to continuously authenticate users’ access to critical web and API services without causing them to pay the price of increased friction may sound like a lofty goal. Still, it can be achieved by integrating technologies you likely already have. Combining technologies built to continuously monitor applications and APIs for attacks and anomalous behavior with identity technologies already deployed to authenticate users allows administrators to protect their critical applications without inconveniencing the user.

The Cache-Control response header is one of HTTP’s more widely known header fields; it allows a site to control how caches handle their data in CDNs, browsers, and elsewhere

Observability is hard. Distributed systems, dev and testing environments, and outside vendors all complicate the problem. With Compute, Fastly wants to make observability easier. Here’s what we’re doing.

Building our own compiler toolchain allows Compute to be both performant and secure. It also means we have to bring developers’ most-loved language into the fold in the right way.

Transport Layer Security 1.3 è ora disponibile per i clienti Fastly. L'ultima versione del protocollo Transport Layer Security, Transport Layer Security 1.3, è progettata per migliorare le prestazioni e la sicurezza del traffico servito tramite HTTPS.

The HTTP community has been busy modernizing the web’s protocol over the last decade, with multiple revisions of the core specification, a number of extensions, HTTP/2, and now HTTP/3. Unfortunately, the way we define and use HTTP header fields hasn’t changed much since the beginning, with underspecified headers (and lots of different ways to handle them) causing interoperability issues, developer pain, and even security problems. But help is coming.

Network error logging reports client-side failures and successes, enabling developers to understand how their sites function in the real world and how they might improve performance. In this post, we’ll explore the NEL framework, how it provides visibility, and ways to collect and process the resulting data.

There’s been an outpouring of corporate statements supporting Black Lives Matter over the past few weeks— but statements of solidarity don’t matter unless they are backed by action designed to create real change. We’re taking a look back at our diversity and inclusion journey, and the ongoing work we need to do as a company to manifest our aspirations.

The growth of our global network allows us to stand at the ready with our customers, supporting and protecting their innovations at the edge.

Our unique approach to business continuity planning focuses not just on ensuring that our systems remain operations, but also that our processes and people have the backup and support they need. Here’s a template to make it yours.

We have a responsibility to use our platform and our privilege to say that Black Lives Matter — and commit to the work that statement entails.

WebAssembly is helping to lay the foundation for the future of edge computing. And together with the Bytecode Alliance and the developer community at large, we’re investing in new technologies to make WebAssembly easier and more performant.

Unpack the trends with serverless, as seen from our Compute beta community: from the top use cases and benefits, to the perceived challenges with serverless as a whole.

Our Developer Hub has everything developers need to build apps and websites at the edge. Solve problems faster with code samples developed by Fastly’s experts.

QUIC promises a built-in, low-latency handshake. But can it achieve its promise alone? Let’s look at the value of handshake compression in helping QUIC achieve fast startup performance.

A healthy internet starts with healthy people. To take care of Fastlyans, we’re proactively surveying our people, boosting internal communications, focusing on mental health and wellness, and improving manager resources.

Compare QUIC vs TCP to better understand the computational efficiency of both.

This series on the digital divide examines the data behind several yet-unexplored facets of the issue, the people and places it impacts most greatly, and what can and should be done to close this persistent gap.
