Fastly Object Storage is an S3-compatible object storage service designed to work seamlessly with Fastly's edge cloud platform. It enables teams to store and access large files using familiar tools, APIs, and workflows while reducing operational complexity.
Because it integrates directly with Compute, CDN, and Fastly's global network, organizations can bring data storage closer to applications and users while simplifying their infrastructure stack.
What types of data can I store in Fastly Object Storage?
Fastly Object Storage is optimized for active, high-throughput unstructured data storage, including images, videos, media libraries, AI and machine learning datasets, application assets, software packages, user-generated content, and analytics datasets.
The platform works particularly well when paired with Image Optimization for media-heavy applications and Compute for applications that need to process data at the edge.
What is zero egress?
Zero egress means Fastly does not charge fees for data transferred or retrieved out of Fastly Object Storage when routing that traffic within the Fastly network to our Compute or CDN layers. Unlike many cloud storage providers that charge separately for outbound data transfer, Fastly Object Storage includes egress at no additional cost.
Why does storing data closer to the edge matter?
Applications perform best when data is located closer to where it is consumed. By integrating object storage with Fastly's global edge platform, organizations can reduce unnecessary data movement, improve application responsiveness, and simplify content delivery architectures.
How can Fastly Object Storage support AI and machine learning workloads?
AI applications require scalable, accessible data storage for training datasets, model artifacts, generated content, and inference workloads. Fastly Object Storage provides durable object based storage that can serve as a foundation for modern AI architectures.
When combined with AI Accelerator and Compute, organizations can build AI-powered experiences that reduce latency while maintaining efficient access to the data required by models and applications.
Can Fastly Object Storage help improve media delivery performance?
Yes. Media organizations, streaming platforms, gaming companies, and digital publishers often use object based storage to manage large content libraries. Fastly Object Storage integrates naturally with Fastly’s CDN and Image Optimization, helping teams store, transform, and deliver content efficiently at global scale.
How does Fastly Object Storage support modern application architectures?
Modern applications often combine storage, compute, security, and delivery services into a unified platform. Fastly Object Storage provides a scalable foundation for application assets and unstructured data while integrating with Compute and CDN services.
