Fastly overview

What is Fastly?

Fastly is an edge cloud platform that aims to improve technical innovation capacity for websites like Airbnb, GitHub, Pinterest, Vimeo, The Guardian, and Ticketmaster. This application uses a CDN server infrastructure, and it is available in English, Japanese, Swedish, German, and Spanish. Website administrators can configure it to check visitor locations and fetch relevant content from a nearby PoP.

With PoPs spread across the globe, including 20 locations in North America, visitors enjoy fast responses anywhere. Account-holders benefit from universal HTTP-based media streaming protocols, including HLS, HDS, and MPEG-DASH.

With full configurable WAF, DDoS mitigation, intelligent bot protection, secure tokens for media access, advanced rate limiting, API protection, and DRM features, Fastly offers enterprise-grade security. It can also purge everything in the cache in 150 ms or less and comes with video caching support.
