Fastly’s all-in-one destination provides
resources for developers to engage, innovate, and build at the
edge
Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), provider of an edge cloud platform,
today announced the launch of its new Developer Hub, a central
place for developers to easily access all the tools they need to
build fast, scalable and secure modern applications on the Fastly
edge cloud platform. Housed within the Developer Hub is a testing
sandbox, ready-to-deploy code snippets, and a growing repository of
structured tutorials, reference materials, and documentation. By
giving developers at the world’s most innovative companies the
tools they need to drive digital transformation, the promise of
edge computing becomes more tangible and actionable.
“Fastly’s new Developer Hub is one of the best developer
resources we have today,” says Ron Lipke, Platform Engineering
Manager at Gannett. “The documentation, code snippets, and variety
of use cases will save our edge team the cycles required to develop
our own configuration examples. In addition, the attention given to
the user experience is readily apparent. The improved navigation
will allow our edge development team to discover and implement
self-service solutions much faster. This is a welcome enhancement
over Fastly’s already great developer library.”
As a company built by and for developers, Fastly understands how
critical good documentation and resources are to the developer
experience. Time spent searching for undiscoverable materials is
time taken away from optimizing sites, streamlining processes, or
executing on great ideas. With this in mind, the Developer Hub is
designed with usability and innovation at the forefront. The
developer-friendly search indexes content based on several
different categorizations, such as command type or use case,
allowing developers to discover additional related content.
Two key features of the Developer Hub are the highly-searchable
documentation and sandboxed testing. Robust, easy-to-navigate
changelogs and references will continuously educate developers on
the extensive capabilities of Varnish Configuration Language and
Fastly’s API. Fastly Fiddle – a powerful and flexible testing
sandbox – allows developers to test configurations without putting
their production environments at risk.
“We have built a highly customizable platform with a wide range
of developer-focused capabilities,” said Adam Denenberg, SVP of
Customer Solutions at Fastly. “Our Developer Hub puts the full
power of Fastly in developers’ hands by making it simpler to find
the tools they need and by helping them realize what our technology
is capable of. We’re in the business of helping developers be
successful by harnessing the power of edge computing. With
Developer Hub, we’re excited to continue building on that goal, and
opening the edge up to developers even further.”
Customers can utilize the Developer Hub to support their edge
workflows via the following tools, with more resources planned for
future releases:
- Solution Library patterns and recipes: Ready-to-deploy
code snippets and deployment instructions teach developers how to
do basically anything on Fastly, with everything they need to
implement in their own configurations
- API and language references and changelogs: Robust
reference documentation and release notes provide complete access
to all of the features available through the Fastly web interface
and VCL
- Education for all levels: Getting started content and
foundational education help developers learn about Fastly’s
platform. Includes technical descriptions, and a growing collection
of fine tuning instructions and observability tools
- Technical blog posts: Education and thought leadership
from Fastly developers and engineering experts about our edge cloud
platform, learnings from our network data, and industry trends
- Fastly Fiddle: A testing sandbox to experiment with
Fastly configurations and debug custom code without impacting
developers’ production services
The Developer Hub will soon include more tools and resources
needed to learn about and build on Compute@Edge, Fastly’s in-beta
serverless compute environment. Developers interested in
participating in the Compute@Edge beta are currently able to sign
up through Developer Hub.
