Get everything you need from a modern CDN — from effortless scale and built-in security to programmable control and full visibility.
Faster, more secure experiences on Google Cloud — at the edge.
Fastly + Google Cloud
Fastly’s edge cloud platform sits in front of your Google Cloud infrastructure to accelerate performance, strengthen security, and deliver real-time visibility. Fastly integrates seamlessly with Google Cloud to reduce latency, cut egress costs, and give your teams full control - without sacrificing flexibility.
Better Together
Google Cloud gets you to the cloud. Fastly gets you to your users.
Google Cloud gives you the power to build and innovate. Fastly gets it there — fast. We sit between your cloud origins and your end users, accelerating content delivery, stopping threats before they reach your infrastructure, and feeding real-time insights back into your Google Cloud environment. Whether you're just getting started or scaling to millions of users, Fastly has you covered.
Perform
Supercharge your Google Cloud applications with edge caching, image optimization, and TLS termination. With Fastly delivering content 32% faster than other CDNs, you get lower latency and dramatically reduced GCP egress costs.
Protect
Keep your Google Cloud applications safe with Fastly's Next-Gen WAF. Trusted by 90% of customers in full blocking mode, it stops Layer 7 attacks, OWASP Top 10 threats, bot attacks, and API abuse right at the edge — so your Google Cloud environments stay protected without any performance trade-offs.
Observe
Stream edge logs in real time directly to Google BigQuery, Cloud Storage, and Pub/Sub — eliminating batch delays. Get immediate SQL queries on live web traffic, instant log delivery for compliance, and real-time event streaming for custom microservices and serverless functions. Full-stack visibility with zero blind spots.
Develop
Fastly's fully API-driven platform integrates natively with Terraform and Google Cloud Deployment Manager. Push real-time configuration changes to the global edge network in seconds — as part of every Google Cloud deployment. Fastly's AEDA agent further automates telemetry and operational adjustments across your stack.
Scale
Handle traffic spikes with confidence. Fastly's globally distributed edge network — with 336 Tbps of capacity — absorbs demand surges before they ever reach your Google Cloud origins, keeping your apps fast and available at any scale.
Save
Reduce your Google Cloud egress bill by offloading traffic to Fastly's edge. Cache static and dynamic content closer to users — dramatically cutting the volume of requests hitting your Google Cloud origins and lowering your total infrastructure spend.
One platform. Four pillars. Fully integrated with Google Cloud.
Fastly's edge cloud platform combines Network Services, Security, Compute, and Observability into one programmable, developer-friendly layer — sitting in front of your GCP infrastructure to deliver faster, safer, and more observable digital experiences.
Network Services: Offload your Google Cloud origins
Cache static and dynamic content at the edge to reduce GCE, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Load Balancing load — and cut GCP egress costs significantly.
Security: Protect apps across all of GCP
Deploy Fastly's Next-Gen WAF directly into Google Cloud HTTP(S) Load Balancers via Service Extensions — no code changes, no extra network hops. Integrated with Google SecOps for automated threat response.
Compute: Run logic at the edge
Execute authentication, personalization, and routing at the Fastly edge — reducing Cloud Functions invocations and round trips to your GCP origins.
Observability: Real time visibility, from origin to edge
Stream real-time Fastly logs to Google BigQuery for live SQL queries, Cloud Storage for compliance retention, and Pub/Sub for event-driven microservices — unified visibility from edge to GCP origins.
"One was that we needed an all-in-one next-gen security stack for the front end of the website. We needed Bot Protection, WAF, and DDoS, and Fastly gave us a high-quality cloud-native version of that."
Andrew Tate
Head of Technology Operations
“The content is served from Google to Fastly in the US (through shielding) then traffic goes to Amsterdam, and from Amsterdam it exits to the public internet towards India. With this chain, I would expect the latency you can introduce going from Amsterdam to India to be significantly higher than what you would have from Google to India on their private network. Instead, I was very happy to see that was not the case due to Precision Path and Fastly performance network. So that was one result. After solving India, we deployed it worldwide. And the numbers are also quite interesting – it’s roughly 50% faster than it was before.”

Platform engineer
"Traffic went up 20%-30% after [Fastly]. The page speed and Lighthouse scores have all improved. Fastly was an enabler, and without it, our time to market would have been much longer."
Abraham Ingersoll
Chief Security Officer
“With Fastly, regardless of how busy our traffic becomes, it is always stable. There have never been any surprises, even during our biggest hours. The basic CDN service already has security features built-in, so we receive legitimate traffic to our services without having to do anything on our side and we get it for free."

Network Services & Observability Integrations
Fastly + Google Cloud: Built to work together.
Fastly's deep technical integrations with Google Cloud span security, observability, and network services— giving your teams a seamless, high-performance edge-to-cloud stack. From automated native NGWAF deployments, to threat response in Google SecOps to real-time log streaming into BigQuery, every Google Cloud integration is built for speed, scale, and simplicity.
Private Network Interconnects (PNIs)
Fastly maintains over 30 PNIs globally with Google Cloud that allowing customers to reduced latency and optimizing backend workload performance. Cache misses, PASSes, and uncacheable content all ride a private path instead of contending with public-internet congestion and extra transit hops.
Real-time log streaming
Stream Fastly edge logs directly to BigQuery (live SQL queries on web traffic), Cloud Storage (long-term compliance retention), and Pub/Sub (event-driven microservices and serverless functions) — with zero batching delays.
Security Integrations
Fastly + Google Cloud: Built to work together.
Fastly's security integrations with Google Cloud are designed to stop threats before they reach your origin — without slowing you down. From natively deploying NGWAF rules through Google Cloud Service Extensions, to automated SOAR playbooks triggered by edge threat signals, Fastly and Google Cloud work together to shrink your attack surface and accelerate your response at every layer of the stack.
NGWAF via Google Cloud Service Extensions
Seamlessly inject Fastly NGWAF security logic directly into Google Cloud HTTP(S) Load Balancers. Apply edge web application security natively within your GCP infrastructure — no application code changes, no extra network hops.
Google SecOps: Streamlined threat response
Default NGWAF log ingestion into Google SecOps instantly normalizes threat vectors without custom ETL pipelines. Standardized CDN access log mapping to the Google SecOps Unified Data Model (UDM) delivers full-stack security visibility out of the box.
SecOps SOAR: Automated alert orchestration
Automated alert orchestration triggers immediate response playbooks directly from Fastly edge threat signals — drastically reducing Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) across your GCP environment.
