“We chose Fastly as our platform because Fastly's API-driven and
performance focused products are clearly customer and engineering
centric, and seven years later it is exciting to see that
dedication sustained with Compute@Edge," said Pablo Mercado, CTO of
Vox Media. "The approach Fastly has taken with their investment in
Compute@Edge makes real the promise of serverless, it expands what
is possible for our developers to build while also giving us the
confidence of rock solid performance and stability. This combined
with Fastly's engineer-to-engineer customer service really sets
Fastly apart as a great partner for delivering exceptional digital
experiences to our readers and viewers, and to build the Vox Media
future with.”
For developers looking to build and execute code closer to their
end users, Compute@Edge is a powerful and performant serverless
computing environment that runs on Fastly’s globally distributed
edge cloud platform. Fastly’s serverless solution provides the
benefits of serverless computing without the challenges that
typically come with outsourcing infrastructure, allowing for better
performance, enhanced visibility, and reduced latency. By building
advanced applications and custom logic on the edge, organisations
can reduce infrastructure costs and scale instantly.
Compute@Edge prioritises the developer experience within
serverless compute environments, and Fastly continues to deliver on
this imperative with its newest enhancements, including:
- Terraform API support: New Terraform support enables
developers to treat Fastly infrastructure as code and act as an
integrated part of an organisation's existing tech stack. Through
this integration, developers can rapidly program, configure, and
provision infrastructure.
- Command Line Interface (CLI): The Compute@Edge CLI
brings to developers a new, streamlined experience to program,
build, and deploy applications at scale.
- Expanded language support: Designed to give developers
the ability to program in the languages most familiar to them,
Compute@Edge now offers AssemblyScript in beta.
- Observability at your fingertips: Bolstering the
mission-critical visibility developers need in a serverless
environment, stats and errors are now available in the user
interface and managed via API. This allows developers to integrate
observability seamlessly into their workflows.
"Our partnership with Fastly is built upon a mutual commitment
to providing high-quality, seamless CI/CD experiences and
exceptional tooling for developers,” said Asvin Ramesh, director of
technology alliances at HashiCorp. “We're excited to share that
Fastly's Compute@Edge now integrates with HashiCorp Terraform,
enabling large-scale developer empowerment and even more
flexibility in managing infrastructure — all in one place.”
“Serverless is the future of application development and the
opportunities it presents for innovation are endless,” said CTO of
Fastly, Tyler McMullen. “While this technology is still relatively
young, there is growing awareness amongst developers and business
leaders alike of what a shift to serverless can mean for their
ability to accelerate innovation and scale. And as the technology
behind Compute@Edge nullifies cold starts and cybersecurity threats
other serverless offerings often face, serverless now also means
better performance and security. We’re incredibly humbled to see
the industry-leading use cases our customers are building for
things like low latency live streaming, real-time security
authentication, microservice migration, content stitching, and
more. This latest progress with Compute@Edge elevates the
flexibility and speed engineering teams are relying on to meet the
moment.”
