About Fastly
Fastly, Inc. was incorporated in 2011 and is headquartered in San Francisco, United States. It built its business around a programmable CDN and has expanded into an edge platform. Fastly is publicly traded on Nasdaq as FSLY; no parent company is identified.
The company is known for configurable content delivery, rapid cache purging, and security and computing services at the network edge. Its offer is aimed at organisations building or operating online services rather than people looking for a basic shared-hosting account.
Fastly's hosting and platform range
Content delivery network (CDN)
Fastly's CDN caches and delivers websites, applications, APIs and other content. It is designed to help teams manage delivery rules and clear cached content when updates need to reach users. Our comparison lists features including HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, cache purging, image optimisation, WebSockets and edge computing.
Online storage
Fastly offers S3-compatible object storage integrated with its edge platform. This is business-oriented storage for applications and services; it is not presented as personal file-sync storage.
Beyond those two types, Fastly lists video-on-demand and live-streaming services, real-time video packaging, load balancing, TLS termination, origin connections and secondary DNS. Its security products include a web application firewall, bot management, application-layer DDoS protection, API security and client-side protection. Developers can also use edge compute, a key-value store, real-time messaging, SDKs, logging and metrics. Fastly lists managed CDN and professional services as well.
Network and support
Fastly describes a global network of points of presence across North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia and New Zealand. Its map shows city-level network locations; this is not a list of specific data-centre addresses or ownership. Fastly offers web and email support, phone support and private Slack channels, with access, hours and response targets depending on the support plan. Documentation and a community forum are also available.
Who should consider Fastly?
Fastly is worth considering if you need configurable CDN delivery, edge security, media services or compute, and have the technical resources to configure them. Teams seeking a straightforward website hosting package or personal cloud storage should look elsewhere. The available tools and services are broader than a basic CDN, but that breadth can require specialist knowledge.
