We have built security into the fabric of our platform, alongside performance, providing developers and security operations teams with a fast, safe environment to create, build, and run modern applications.
Our software-defined network gives us incredible performance gains when it comes to purging, which is core to CDNs. We can purge stale content in 150 ms globally. Coupled with batch purging and surrogate key purging, customers can effectively cache highly dynamic content at the edge with the peace of mind that it can be purged from cache globally in milliseconds.
Our modern network design includes fewer, more powerful POPs, allowing customers to cache more at the edge for longer, including rapidly changing content like inventory, pricing or news. This translates into better cache hit ratios meaning web and mobile users get quicker response times and downloads.
Dynamic site acceleration (DSA) features come standard for speedy content delivery that makes a positive impact on conversion and retention rates, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and ad revenue.
Our configurable CDN allows customers to save on costs. Because we can purge so quickly, customers can cache more at the edge, even API responses. This minimizes trips to origin, reducing infrastructure and egress costs. Also, full configurability means changes are automatically passed from development to production without having to engage Professional Services.
Low-latency streaming delivery, with minimal rebuffering events, is the key to providing broadcast-quality video experiences on any device, anywhere. Fastly’s edge cloud platform is built for performance: with a 252+ Tbps capacity and growing, we scale to meet the needs of the industry’s largest video and streaming services.
