About Fastly
Fastly is a content delivery network (CDN) and edge cloud platform that accelerates web and application delivery by distributing content closer to users through a global network of points of presence. The service provides edge computing capabilities, image optimization, video streaming, security features, and load balancing, enabling organizations to deliver faster, more secure digital experiences while reducing origin server load through intelligent caching and request handling at the edge.
Website operators use Fastly to accelerate content delivery and reduce server costs, leveraging the platform's caching capabilities to serve static assets from edge locations closer to end users. E-commerce businesses implement Fastly to improve page load times and handle traffic spikes during promotional events or seasonal peaks. Media companies utilize Fastly's video streaming capabilities for delivering on-demand and live content with reduced buffering and startup times, while development teams leverage Fastly's programmable edge for creating custom logic that executes closer to users, reducing latency for dynamic content and API responses.
Users may experience various types of issues when using Fastly, including temporary cache inconsistencies after configuration changes, occasional propagation delays when updating security settings, or brief routing inefficiencies during network optimizations. API rate limiting might affect high-volume automated operations, while real-time statistics and logging might experience collection or display delays during exceptionally high traffic events. Custom Varnish Configuration Language (VCL) deployments could temporarily affect cache behavior until fully propagated across the network. During major internet infrastructure events, users might notice regional performance variations as traffic is automatically rerouted around affected areas. Configuration changes to purge rules or cache settings might require time to take full effect across all edge locations.
